The Poisonwood Bible Book Discussion
OK guys, it's June 1 and time to discuss The Poisonwood Bible. I'm not sure how we want to do this; if you all want to just comment on this post or make your own if you need more space. Either way is fine with me. I will probably make a new post to discuss my thoughts since I don't really have the time right now. I hope a few of you read it and enjoyed it. Emily agreed to choose the next book, so take it away Em!

I wouldn't have read this book in a million years if it was not recommended by you guys. Just not my thing and I usually hate all things Africa. But I was wrong, wrong! That woman is an amazing writer. The story was compelling and different and educational. Plus I learned a great deal about the culture and problems of the Central African nations. I lived during the time of the independance and I remember the names of all the political history figures mentioned in the book. But of course I never realized the corruption of the leaders and the poverty of the people. Humbling stuff. Good book. I'll never think of ants and snakes the same, ever!
It was very, very good. I loaned it to my supervisor at work; I think she would love it. Thanks for the recommendation, Amy.
Loved the book, have lots of thoughts on it, but haven't had internet for most the day and I am heading out the door to get Elle's long awaited blood test. Insurance finally approved it! Wish us luck!
Oh Yay for insurance coverage! I haven't had time to weigh in either. Maybe tomorrow.
