The discussion of Princess Bride was very good. I think everyone agreed the male relationships; friendship, and father/son were very well written. Male-female relationships not so much. And, Buttercup is basically a tool. A plot tool, that is. The movie went with the book very well, although we could have used more fight scenes.

In light of our great discussion, we planned the next books until November. And, they are:

July – My Most Excellent Year by Steve Kluger

August – TH1RTEEN R3ASONS WHY (audio version) by Jay Asher (request now on interlibrary loan)

September – Little Brother by Cory Doctorow

October – Teen Read Month in Oklahoma! Read any vampire book you want. Books with Bite, Bay-beeee! [Teen Read Week 2008 | Books with Bite @ your library].

November – Wednesday Wars by Gary Schmidt Book Review by the New York Times
