September update and 2010 list resent

Overwhelming thumbs up for  Sarah’s Key by Tatiana De Rosnay!!!!

 

General comments: 

·         Very sad

·         Eye opening

·         Similar to Diary of Anne Frank

·         Makes you think a lot

·         Glad read for importance

·         Disappointed that started as strong historical fiction and fizzled out…

·         Discussed topics such as:  “the French Roundups,” the Holocaust survivors

·         Jews being targeted due to wealth and prestige

GREAT discussion, everyone!

This is a place of mystery...a sanctuary. Every book, every volume you see here has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens.

                   -Carlos Ruiz Zafon (The Shadow of the Wind)
