So how's The Book Thief coming? Has anyone (aside from myself) even started yet? I hope so. . . it's only our featured book until March 10! So get reading people, this isn't a small novel.
For those that actually have been reading, here is an analysis and some discussion questions.
One of the themes brought up in the novel that I have noticed, and it is also brought up in that website up there, is the power of words. Even from the beginning, the novel brings up the fact that books and words have power. If they didn't why would Liesel have stolen the books that she did? The words that are used around her in the context of war and for/against Hitler have a HUGE impact on Liesel. She's trying to learn to read and write, but the reason why is somewhat cloudy, but if you look hard enough(I'm not giving it away this early!) you will definitely see it!

i've read it before
should i read it again?
Yeah, you probably should. I mean, the whole point of a book club is to read the book, even if you've already read it. I can't force you to read it, but if the last time you read it was last June, then I would suggest that if you plan on disucssing the book(once again, whole point of a book club) it would be a good idea to refresh your memory so that you can accurately discuss the book.
nice written and i really loved the way it was made. thanks and keep posting interesting books.
