We had a fantastic time talking about Toni Morrison's "Beloved" at our Pulitzer Discussion Group! Not the lightest book on the shelf, we discussed everything from haints and the physical nature of the novel's ghost to the mercy and mental horror of killing ones own child rather than seeing her dragged into a life of slavery. With "Beloved" being such a deep and heavy read, a lot of our readers formed some very strong feelings towards it, which made for an excellent discussion!
I'm really looking forward to our next book, "The Plague of Doves" by Louise Erdrich, and will talk about it more as we get closer to the 21st. Let's hope it sparks just as much interesting discussion and debate.
