The Help by Kathryn Stockett

The Help

I found this book fascinating not only because of its subject matter, but also because it represents an era that my parents experienced. It is amazing to me that is was only 50 years ago. The intricacies of the relationships between the white women and their african-american maids can be heartbreaking because of its cruelty, but also because of the love and caring that can develop across that divide.

The Next Thing on My List

A cute vapid little novel - nice for an afternoon rainy day read, (and you WILL finish it in an afternoon, I did in 4 hours). This is something that is for entertainment, and not, in my opinion for a book club. There is really nothing truly interesting to discuss - everything is obvious and cliched. It does not force the reader to move beyond their comfort zone - unless the reader is male, has no intuition about females and lives under a giant rock (i.e. highly unlikely to exist).
