#53 don't take that literally

Litclubs Great site that can offer very detailed reviews and author information. review "people of the Book"
Well I have just read this offering from Geraldine brooks (sorry couldn't wait) I bought it in the airport. It is a bit of an airport sort of book it staggered in places but it did have big themes .
How all cultures revere the arts, and the commonality of people who work with books and big ideas. How many people of the book bring to their work the same core values. That the beauty and skill of producing such an item is triggered by big ideas and that the history that the item represents is valuable, more important than religion or politics. The tale delved also into the middle east and the conjoined histories of the communities there that have more in common than they have differences.

Perhaps this site could be the basis of a book group that meets regularly at the library using its tools as a focus and guide.
