A hefty tome for Christmas reading

Our keen readers wanted something to keep them busy over the Christmas break. Joshua Cohen's The Book of Numbers: a novel appears to fit the bill.





It certainly has an intriguing cover.  Steven Poole reviewing for The Guardian does not appear to be a great fan. Mark Sarvas from The New York Times wrote this lengthy review.

It appears this novel will give many of us an opportunity to read outside of our comfort zone and that's one of the reasons book clubs exist. If one reads in bed this novel will certainly help build the biceps and maybe even assist counteract Christmas calories.

We'll meet to recount our experience of this novel on the last Thursday in January, 2016.
