About This Club

A group dedicated to expanding literary horizons and sharing the ups, downs, twists and turns that come with it.
  1. What's new in this club
  2. It’s America in 1962. Slavery is legal once again. The few Jews who still survive hide under assumed names. In this world, we meet characters like Frank Frink, a dealer of counterfeit Americana who is himself hiding his Jewish ancestry; Nobusuke Tagomi, the Japanese trade minister in San Francisco, unsure of his standing within the bureaucracy and Japan's with Germany; and Juliana Frink, Frank's ex-wife, who may be more important than she realizes. These seemingly disparate characters gradually realize their connections to each other just as they realize that something is not quite right about their world. And it seems as though the answers might lie with Hawthorne Abendsen, a mysterious and reclusive author, whose best-selling novel describes a world in which the US won the War... The Man in the High Castle is Dick at his best, giving readers a harrowing vision of the world that almost was.
  3. Okay, let me see if I can get on Kindle Unlimited or Google Play for a cheap price. Got it, I'll make us a thread to discuss it then. How do you want to set the pace for reading it?
  4. Okay, I'm reading "The Man in the High Castle" by Philip K. Dick now and I'm on the first chapter still.
  5. I know the feeling. You let me know when you reach that point and we can see about starting it.
  6. I’d be up for reading this next. I just have to finish reading Onyx Storm before someone drops a spoiler on me (not talking about anyone from this forum).
  7. The Man in the High Castle could be fun. I started watching the show due to interest in the plot.Could be a fun book club read and discussion.
  8. I haven’t read any of the books I mentioned before. I wasn’t sure what others would like so I just threw some suggestions out there.
  9. Are there any you haven’t read though?
  10. The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick The Book of Stolen Dreams by David Farr The Overnight Guest by Heather GudenKauf The Unlikely Predator by Wayne Hancock Mimi’s Tales of Terror by Junji Ito I can list a whole lot of books for this……..
