Books-N-Wine Book Club

We got together and played games.  One game used the words from the titles read in the last year in a word mix-up game.  We also played Cards Against Humanity.

Continuing our scary book in October series...

This book is subtitled "A Memoir of the Craft" and is partly autobiographical and partly a lengthy letter to aspiring writers.

The short story behind the movie

Blade Runner

.

The Body Farm at University of Tennessee Medical Center.

This was one of Dale's favorites growing up.

We've read several Nelson DeMille books and Susan particularly enjoys his sarcasm.

This book is a re-release of a book he wrote in 1975.  He says he more than doubled the length.

Author's Note: "

An earlier, shorter version of The Quest was published in paperback in 1975.

In 2013, I rewrote The Quest and doubled its length, making it, I hope, a far better story than the original, without deviating from the elements that made the story so powerful and compelling when I first wrote it. In other words, what made The Quest worth rewriting remains, and whatever is changed is for the better.

I was happy and excited to have this opportunity to rewrite and republish what I consider my first "big" novel, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did when I first wrote it."

Somebody had recommended this to Susan.

This was originally published in German.

I'd never read this book, nor seen the movie, so this book was a complete surprise.
