Finished reading Work Song the November book selection for the group.

I enjoyed Doig's style of writing, his characters and the history tied into the story. Apparently the main character, Morgan "Morrie" was in another book, The Whistling Season, and this book obviously continues his story on the run from Chicago gangsters after he and his brother throw a fight and collect lots of money. I learned a bit about copper mining and it's history in Montana. Should be an interesting discussion. Have even made notes so I won't forget too much before the November meeting. Started The Boy in the Suitcase which is a "hot" book right now. And rightly so. I was hooked from page one and hate to put it down to sleep! Not the most upbeat topic, child trafficking, but the writing and the style are really good. Translated but I think it is well done. I do need to get a bit of work done on my questions for the October book- Deadline- and maybe a bit of author bio. Am inspired by my niece who started a blog to maybe change the look of this blog...will look into that.
