The Art Thief:
A True Story of Love, Crime,and a Dangerous Obsession
by Michael Finkel
This one is our December book club selection. It was pretty interesting and not terribly long (242 pages). The true story of a prodigious art thief and his girlfriend accomplice in northern Europe. They never sold anything, as the thief did it for the love of the art, and the accomplice did it for the love of the thief.
I thought it was pretty good. His family dynamics were pretty strange, and lead to the question 'which comes first, the relationship malfunction, or the personality disorder of the child?'
Klara and the Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro
This one is January's book club selection. I've found that reading a month or two ahead is not ideal for remembering details for discussion, but this one became available at the library, so i figured I would read it while I could without having to buy a copy. I just started it today.
Happy Reading. I'm soon to start a Christmas mystery. Books are the best! Cheers, Ivy.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ivy! Happy Reading to you too!
DeleteThank you! Hubby told me last night that this winter he wants to get back to reading more and I told him my idea to change the bedroom into a reading winter wonderland. So fun!
DeleteHappy Reading.
My husband reads a lot in the winter, because he hates cold weather (to him 60 degree weather constitutes cold weather). LOL
