Book club: Brave New world & The Girl on the Train

Shawshank, December 6, 2020

Good afternoon my book lovers, There’s a bonus today. I’ll be talking about two books! I know, he has no time to read, but he’s reading two books now? While it’s true that I’m still trying to find balance between work and reading, I really wanted to read both of them.

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

It’s very retro-futuristic. So I’m enjoying it so far. I’m not too far into it, but it’s very good. Very strange, and I don’t really know what’s going on in it so far. It seems to me there’s one really popular chick that everyone wants to date. They kinda sleep around and baby’s are made in a test tube. I can’t wait to dive into this and finish it up.

The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins

I remember watching a movie about this book. I liked the movie, but I got really sucked into the book. Although, it could be “Delusional Drunk Girl on a train”! The book is told from the perspectives of three different women.

I know not too much to go on with these books, but I’ve really only read the first couple of chapters each. But, let it be known, I’m really liking both books so far!

    I LOVE Brave New World. I read it last year for a dystopian novel course, and it quickly became one of my favorites. I hope you like it!
