This May we read The Last Days of Night: a Novel by Graham Moore. Sometimes it is hard to capture the discussion and the dynamic of the group, but I am going to give it a try. It seemed to me that most people enjoyed the novel, mainly because there were new things we learned. However, there was discussion about whether this was, indeed a "Book Club Book," whatever that means. And Ed did not like the book. He had very strong feelings against the novel. Partly his feelings had to do with the fact that he spent his life as an attorney and did not think that the novel accurately portrayed. That was lost of the rest of us non legal types within the group. In addition, Louise has spent part of her career in the field of energy and electricity-so not so much new learning for Ed. Try as we might, we could not convince Ed to concede that he liked any parts of the novel. For the rest of us, the beginning started of strong and we maybe were not so impressed with the second half. But all in all, it was a fun read for the rest of us.
