Online Book Club

Bookworks is starting a (mostly) online book club!  Our first book selection is Elif Batuman's The Possessed: Adventures with Russian Books & the People Who Read Them - an essay collection I think will give us plenty of potential things to talk about (as well as some fun external media... I wonder if Woody Allen's Love and Death will be relevant!)

The online book club forum is located at http://bkwrksonline.ning.com - register for an account.  It looks like a promising way to combine discussion with a lot of supplementary media, and will be a lot of fun!

The Shadow of the Wind (Paperback)

By Carlos Ruiz Zafon, Lucia Graves
$16.00

Barcelona, 1945—A great world city lies shrouded in secrets after the war, and a boy mourning the loss of his mother finds solace in his love for an extraordinary book called The Shadow of the Wind, by an author named Julian Carax. When the boy searches for Carax’s other books, it begins to dawn on him, to his horror, that someone has been systematically destroying every copy of every book the man has ever written. Soon the boy realizes that The Shadow of the Wind is as dangerous to own as it is impossible to forget, for the mystery of its author’s identity holds the key to an epic story of murder, madness, and doomed love that someone will go to any lengths to keep secret.
