My Labrador Friends Book Club - Fiction Choice

[Candy]

I've just joined a book club locally, the chosen novel for this month is "Klara and the Sun", by Kazuo Ishiguro , which I've just finished. I loved it, has anyone else read it?

If so, what did you think?

I haven't read that one but I have read several others of his and loved them all. It's come up as recommended for me on my Kindle, so it might well become my next holiday read.

@Selina27 I have Amazon Audible as I like to listen to audio books as well as read books, particularly kindle books because of text size flexibility
Audible subs give you one book a month of a paying category but also have a catalogue of free to listen to/included books.
Good to listen to when knitting/crocheting.

I am deliciously enjoying a book I’ve heard about for ages but hadn’t got around to yet: The Golem and the Jinni” by Helene Wecker. So great and I’m loving every page.

@Lisa I read that one about 5 years ago and enjoyed it very much.

@Selina27 I haven't read that one, but have read three others of his. I loved The Remains of the Day, liked Never Let Me Go and thought The Unconsoled was rubbish!

I absolutely loved The Remains of the Day too, also Never Let Me Go, which I found quite heartbreaking. They're the only other ones of his that I've read, but the new one is now downloaded and waiting for me to start it!

The Remains of the Day

I haven't read this, but have seen the film with Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson.

Never Let Me Go, which I found quite heartbreaking

I'm not sure how to describe my feelings about it, I think Klara and the Sun aroused stronger feeling but I'm not sure what!

Can't wait for someone else to read it before I say too much

I'm disappointed this doesn't seem to be about dogs......

Going back to the classics and reading Brideshead Revisited….I’m pretty sure I read this before a looong time ago but had it in mind to read again.
