I run a bookclub - and tomorrow we are meeting after a long gap to discuss 'I am Pilgrim' - I agreed to this book as it was suggested by another member and I thought it about time the suggestions came from someone else and I have had it sitting on my tablet all summer - completely unable to get into it.
I am listening to it now as an audiobook version and it is just as bad as I feared... anyway I will do my best to listen/ read as much as possible before tomorrow evening but as it is 700 pages I may not finish.
It is exactly just the sort of book I hate - procedural, overly descriptive, detached and about international espionage and sex tinged crime... starting with a pornographic description of the murder of a woman that shock horror was done by another woman!!! meh... just cannot care about it. Blah blah book club is about getting out of your comfort zone blah blah but I don't wanna read it!
But as it is 'my' book club - in that I thought of it, run the fb page etc. etc. I feel obliged to read the books
how do I bs having read it while skimming the last 50% in reality most likely...? Any ideas gratefully received any good ways to slate the book while not offending all the book club members who have read it and are already raving about it also desperately needed... help!
