I read The Goldfinch when it first came out, it was beautifully written & enthralling at first, but the Las Vegas section was a slog for me, and I am usually a devourer of books I am glad I read it, it has stayed with me, but cannot see myself reading it again anytime soon I do want to see how the film turned out, it was a very visual & descriptive book, sections of it felt like 21st century Henry James.

Both Donna Tartt and Ann Patchett have been on my reading list forever, but I haven't read either yet.

I just recently discovered that The Goldfinch might be interesting after ignoring it for years because I heard mixed opinions about it. If you decide to read it I would love to join you.

It sounds as if we're in for a great discussion, both from those who have already read it and new readers too :)

I suggested to Amber in the nominations thread, that if The Goldfinch wins, it should be a monster read over 2 months, so we'll see what she decides :)

Ah, it is a hefty tome isn't it? I'd be up for having it be for two months, lol.

Yes, that's the reason Eileen :) We did it once before, and it proved to be a good idea!

Sounds good to me. It looks like there's a good chance it will win! Maybe I'll finally read some Donna T! :D
