This week's pre-publication "can't-wait-to-read" selection is:
The WeekendBy Bernhard Schlink
Publication Date: October 12
From Amazon:
Old friends and lovers reunite for a weekend in a secluded country home after spending decades apart. They excavate old memories and pass clandestine judgments on the wildly divergent paths they’ve taken since their youth. But this isn’t just any reunion, and their conversations about the old days aren’t your typical reminiscences: After twenty-four years, Jörg, a convicted murderer and terrorist, has been released from prison. The announcement of his pardon sends shock waves throughout the country, but before the announcement, his friends gather for his first weekend of freedom. They are invited by Jörg’s devoted sister, Christiane, whose overwhelming concern for her brother’s safety is matched only by the unrelenting pull of Marko, a unnervingly passionate young man intent on having Jörg continue to fight for the cause.

Great WoW choice! Sounds like an intense read. Thanks for hosting :)
Wow, this sounds awesome. Thanks for sharing (and hosting).
Oh, I am so excited to read about this new book by the author of The Reader. That was a fabulous book, and this one sounds like it will be, too.
Here's mine:

I'm always interested in the author's whose work was selected as one of her book club picks. I hadn't thought about The Reader or Bernhard Schlink in a long time! This one sounds interesting.
