The Reader/Bernard Schlink 218 pgs.
I always try to read the book before I see the movie so now I'll give the movie a try. I think most people know the premise of this book. I didn't think it would be the kind of story for me but I found the writing to be quite beautiful and the story made me think. If people are so ashamed of something about themselves that they are unable or unwilling to defend themselves for fear of discovery, that is a very powerful force. Now I'll have to see if Kate Winslet deserved that Oscar. - Christa
