Our forum date is rapidly approaching. Have you read the book? You might want to set aside a bit more time than usual - this was sort of a slower book for me. It took me a little longer than usual.

Penguin Books has some great discussion questions available for book clubs. Would you like to get a head start on thinking big thoughts about The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao? Browse to http://us.penguingroup.com/static/rguides/us/brief_and_wondrous_life_of_oscar_wao.html and take a look.

I finished the book last week. Did I like it? Would I recommend it? Well, here is a review that mirrors my feelings about this particular book. It also has some study questions. http://bookclubclassics.com/Blog/sunday-salon-oscar-wao/

I bumped into a Theology professor from Creighton University last week. I mentioned The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao and he came to life. It turns out he takes a trip with students each year to the Dominican Republic for mission work there. He had a lot to say about the book, which is a good sign that it is worthy of attention.

We'll see you on July 10 at 2:00 pm in the Humanities Training Room 202.
