9/11 books discussion

Hi
Last night the book club met to discuss the fiction 9/11 books that we read. There were 9 people at the meeting and we discussed several books including: The Good Life by Jay McInerney, The Good Priest's Son by Reynolds Price, A Disorder Peculiar to the Country by Kevin Kalfus, Extremely Loud and Close by Jonathan Safran Foer, and Falling Man: a novel by Don Delillo. A book that was mentioned but not talked about, other than to say it was good, was The Writing on the Wall by Lynne S. Schwartz. It was a stimulating discussion fraught with memories and thoughts not always welcome, but needing to be talked about. The members came prepared to talk about the book or books that they read and we also did some readings from the books - passages that struck a chord or especially well-phrased sentences or thoughts.
