Doomsday Book

My latest book club selection is the Doomsday Book by Connie Willis. This one happens to be my selection, so I need to come up with some questions for our book club meeting in April.

I can't remember how I came across this book: I was either surfing book club recommendation websites; or Chapters or Amazon recommended it based on my purchases.

If you like history, and the science fiction genre, I highly recommend this book. I would best describe it as a mix between Michael Crichton's (RIP) Timeline and Geraldine Brooks' Year of Wonders.

    I am having a hard time getting into it. I am 100 pages in, but keep putting it down to read funny books. Maybe it is just the mood I am in.

    This was my most recent choice for our bookclub - can't put it down, for the most part. I've already read the ending (a bad habit I have) and my heart was already breaking before I'd done that. Looking for questions now... =)
