]]> Comment on Dreamers of the Day by CarolK http://bookgroupbuzz.booklistonline.com/2009/10/29/dreamers-of-the-day/comment-page-1/#comment-94569 CarolK Fri, 30 Oct 2009 11:52:53 +0000 http://bookgroupbuzz.booklistonline.com/?p=3247#comment-94569 After repeatedly hearing about The Sparrow, I gave in and read it some years back. Thinking I was not a fan of science fiction, I was quite surprised at how much I loved this book and its' sequel. Both were chosen for book discussion by our fiction group and have also been picked up by many book groups in our community. I have not read Dreamers of the Day but your description of the book has encouraged me to put it on my TBR list as well as to suggest it to patrons who like historical novels that blend historical figures in their story. Would you be willing to share the additional material that was used to enhance this discussion? The dvd's and other books that you felt added to the whole. I enjoy reading Book Group Buzz. Lots of great suggestions and stimulating blogging. After repeatedly hearing about The Sparrow, I gave in and read it some years back.
