ONBC Next Book Suggestions

[SnoopyDances]

A huge thank you to all ONBC participants.

We hope you enjoyed our discussion of Patti Smith's book, Devotion. If you wanted to participate but haven't had the time, never fear. The discussions stay open so we can continue for as long as you like.

What books would you like to discuss next year?
We are looking for suggestions.

Some possibilities:







Other Johnny-inspired books?

Since City of Lies has been shelved for the time being, LAbyrinth isn't really timely now. I did read it and it is an interesting book. I really hope Johnny's movie sees the light of day.

I have also read Waiting for the Barbarians. I enjoyed it and I will need to read it again before the movie comes out. It is deep. There are lots of layers of thought and meaning to everything that happens in it. I found a study guide that offers some detailed information. Study Guide

The Smith biography might be well-suited to ONBC if there is enough interest to warrant all the work the moderators do to prepare.

I know that I'm not often attending but I'm sneaking in here and there.
I only want to add that I'm very looking forward to the ' Snow Moon ' I was fascinated by reading the Cinderella's Chronicles' , back than. Just saying.

It's always nice to see you here, marija. Now, Snow Moon. I didn't know there was a book. Do you have more details?
Amending my post....I just found the book in question. Here is the link, more research needed.


And back to the question at hand, I have to admit a strong interest in Waiting For the Barbarians. I have not read it yet. I will be doing so in the next month. I read several of Coetzee's short stories and I was literally blown away.

In addition to the books mentioned here, I recall seeing him holding a book about the beginnings of the human race. Can't remember the title for anything. This would have been in the last year or perhaps two? I will see if I can track it down as another option. Anyone here know what book I have in mind?

Might it be this one? I think I saw a picture of Johnny carrying it.

Yes that's the book I've meant...and no, I haven't more informations about it. I don't know either if it's a book series with different single stories or if it's a sequel to 'Cinderella's Chronicals'. We'll learn more when Johnny will produce a movie out if it. Thanks for researching this, anyway
