Per usual, we hit every topic ranging from incredibly embarrassing to desperately sad, and all the in-between. I cried from laughing and from being sad for a friend... all in the same 3 minutes...
That's when you know it's been a good book club.
Oh, and the book...
It was AMAZING! Incredibly Loud and Extremely Close by Jonathan Safran Foer is one of the most interesting books I've ever read. I was really concerned that it would be too sad, but I thoroughly enjoyed every word. Getting inside the head of each character is a whirlwind to say the least, but it leaves you piecing clues together, re-reading sections to make sure you caught even the smallest piece of information, and laughing/crying on every other page...
Although I'm a major Tom Hanks fan, I'm scared to see the movie because I'm afraid it will ruin the image that is in my head. We'll see... But let's be honest, if other people are going, and there's a 42 oz soda and a large bucket of popcorn on the line... I'll be there.
Hope you have a fantastic weekend! If you've read the book or seen the movie tell me what you think!
