This month’s book of the month and more….

The Secret Scripture

Eileen — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 11:42:53 +0000

I am totally enthralled by Sebastian Barry’s ‘The Secret Scripture’ , this month’s Dine to Read book of the month. I found it a bit hard to get into but I’m hooked now! The language that Barry uses throughout the book is so descriptive and evocative, it causes me pause mid-page to enjoy the writing. The story is timed beautifully with extra pieces of information being discovered with each turn of the page. This book is a real readers’ delight.

We’ve scheduled in the Galway book club supper for Wednesday 5th August at 7.30pm in the wonderful Vina Mara Restaurant. Please make sure to book up if you wish to attend this book club meeting.

This month’s book is Plainsong by Kent Haruf. This is a beautifully written book and a great one for a summer read. It really does take you into a world of it’s own. A perfect novel!

Barack Obama is obviously an avid Dine to Read follower seeing as how he is currently reading last month’s book choice Joseph O’Neill’s ‘Netherland’. I hope he’s enjoying this Corkonian cracker as much as the readers of this site did. Thanks to everyone who took part in last month’s book club suppers.

This month’s book of the month is ‘Middlesex’ by Jeffrey Eugenides.
