Well, I ended up going to the bargain bookstore and getting these two books:

http://www.amazon.com/Time-Uprooted-Novel-Elie-Wiesel/dp/0805211772/ref=sr_1_29/103-3628312-1394219?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1182875560&sr=1-29

I'm currently reading the first one.  If anyone wants to read it, that's cool.  If not, that's cool too.  *shrugs*  Just thought I'd share. :)

we did read a few books for the CH. a couple of them, anyway. i was going to say "house of leaves" was one of them, but that was a TF book club.

i'd re-read "everything is illuminated" to discuss with you guys. although i liked his other book, "extremely loud and incredibly close" better.

also - i agree about the movie falling short.

hay guys I read that book too!   (about 2 months ago)

I would looove to discuss it, but I don't want to ruin another book for Alice.

The movie reminded me of a sentimental Borat-lite, it was nothing like the book.  Nor was it as confusing.
Currently, I am reading
