This book was a hard look into the minds of the angry old men whose voices have become so loud in recent years. It gave us plenty to talk about. Thank you to Susan for being a gracious hostess as always. It was a perfect evening."I think that many Vietnam vets believed that no matter what they did, they would never have any control over their lives. Powerful, faceless men would always pull the strings, so why should the powerless non-string-pullers give a fuck? Playing the puppet while high became easier than cleaning up enough to cut strings and kill puppet masters."
Our next book is The Lonely Hearts Hotel by Heather O'Neill. We'll meet at Wanda's (note that this is a change, as is the location for April's meeting) on March 21st for this.
We chose a new book for April 25th at Saara's (instead of Wanda's) - Less by Andrew Sean Greer.
