Our train schedule, or in Brit, shhhhhchhhhhhhedule, has us meeting at Diane's this Thursday, June 25th to discuss Paula Hawkins', "The Girl on the Train."
Hmmmm, should have been subtitled, "and what happens when she disembarks".Having enjoyed the book, (although could see the train coming(!) ), I had to dig - not too deep to- discover why this was such a popular read. My 'other' book club also had it as a selection this month and I bet every other book club out there has it on their list. Good, yeah, but runaway train?? Well, from the Daily Beast,
The Fastest-Selling Adult Novel in History: Paula Hawkins’ ‘The Girl On The Train’
"Stephen King is a fan. Dreamworks just bought the movie rights. Your book club is definitely reading it. Author Paula Hawkins discusses her debut mega-hit, The Girl on the Train." Read the entire piece:

Interesting. Still feel a bit like a baited consumer. But that's the same world that brought us this lovely computer, our phones, organic lettuce, fair trade dark chocolate, etc.
Read on! And RSVP to Diane :)
