I love the idea of the Twitter/Picador book club, and participated in WOLF AT THE TABLE. I just wish the book had come a bit sooner, so I didn’t have to drop everything to read it (it was a quick read, but I had to take a break from the other books I was juggling, to squeeze it in).

A fun challenge to discuss it in 140-character bursts!

I loved the Picador Twitter book club I participated in (it was for The Housekeeper and the Professor). I’d do it every week if I had time to read the books!

I read The Confessions of Max Tivoli by the same author, and while I didn’t love it, it intrigued me enough to keep an eye out for the rest of Greer’s work. You’ve made this one sound irresistible – I might have to get it from the library sooner rather than later!

When this book first came out it was all over the blogisphere, so I didn’t want to read it. Now with your review I really want to. Thanks for the great review.

A twitter book club sounds like a great idea.

Those of you who picked up the book after hearing Greer at the FOB made a great choice. I agree with nat about finding novels about relationships and marriage written men interesting. What makes this one even that much better is that it is written by a man from the wife's perspective. A Twitter book club is easy. Really you just need to pick a unique hashtag and pick a time. Anna, I completely understand about finding time for everything. What's great about Twitter is that you can put as little or as much time as you want into it. For example, you could sign up for an account and only use it to participate in book clubs. I'll think about setting one up. I've got some interesting novels coming up...

This sounds like a great read. I had no idea there were book clubs on Twitter. Then again, I’m not on Twitter. I honestly have a hard enough time keeping up with blogging and blog reading–I don’t know how I could add Twitter to the mix, too.
