Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill
Posted in News by Seth on the February 25th, 2010

And so we meet again!

Hey O.D.M’ers. I’d just like to say that the group meeting yesterday was a blast. It was a lot of fun and one of the best discussions we’ve had. Everyone seemed to enjoy the book with some minor reservations about the length and some of the characters being disposable. I enjoyed discussing the taboo relationship between Lin and Issac and everyone had something interesting to say regarding the way the author had constructed the world in the book. If anyone has anything more to add to the discussion feel free to chat away here.

For the next book Dan has chosen Heart Shaped Box by Joe Hill. It’s a lot smaller than Perdido Street Station so we’ll get it done in a month I’m sure. It’s a contemporary ghost story about a faded rock star who buys a spook off of the internet. It’s also worth noting that Joe Hill is the son of Stephen King so it will be interesting to note any similarities and differences in their writing styles.

The nest meeting will be Wednesday 31/03/2010 at 6pm in Taurus Bar. That’s 5 weeks to read the book so we have plenty of time.

Enjoy the book and I’ll see you next time.

Seth
