Great book discussion on September's pick, "Demon Copperhead" by Barbara Kingsolver, an updated version of Dickens "David Copperfield” transposed to the modern-day Appalachia.
One of the writing lessons I learned from Kingsolver's work is that for your characters to ring true, you have to love them, or at least sympathize with them, even the bad ones. You need to put yourself inside their head, so you know what it's like to be them.
Upcoming Reading Schedule:
January 15, 2025 "Good Omens" by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett
March 19, 2025 "The Mighty Red" by Louise Erdrich
