Blue J Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 The Inconvenient Indian: A Curious Account of Native People in North America by Thomas King This sounds interesting. Fiction or completely nonfiction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 The Red and the Green, by Iris Murdoch. She wrote twenty-six novels, and there are only three or four that I've never read- this is one of them. A fictional story, taking place in Dublin in 1916, around the Easter Rebellion. I just started it yesterday...looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bean-tor Posted May 30, 2015 Share Posted May 30, 2015 The Inconvenient Indian: A Curious Account of Native People in North America by Thomas King This sounds interesting. Fiction or completely nonfiction? Although I'm still in the early stages of this book, it's certainly interesting! I would say that "historical narrative" seems to be an appropriate description. I'm not sure if you're familiar with any of King's fiction, but if so, you would recognize his compelling voice even in this account of history. It strikes me as non-fiction presented by a masterful storyteller--it definitely doesn't read like a history textbook. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Still reading The Stand. Taking my time, and loving every word of it! Not sure I want to see the TV adaptation, the book comes across vividly enough a it is. So clear, in fact, that I can picture scenes in my head as clearly as if I had actually been there myself. I really hope this book stays strong to the finish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x1yyz Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Awful The reason to read it is so you better understand the story behind the CA lyrics. You don't read it for the literary quality. Which is unfortunate :( 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) Awful The reason to read it is so you better understand the story behind the CA lyrics. You don't read it for the literary quality. Which is unfortunate :( I suppose if someone weren't a real Rush fan and didn't know all the lyrical references maybe it wouldn't read as hokey. I was so disappointed after reading the first chapter. I made myself read the rest of it hoping it would get better but unfortunately it never does. It does help to understand the story behind the lyrics. That's all I can say about it. Fortunately the book is short so it doesn't take very long to finish. Edited June 5, 2015 by EagleMoon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
