2017 Reading Challenge discussion

Spring, summer, fall, autumn, winter...

I read Summer House with Swimming Pool by Herman Koch This will probably stick with me for a while. Marc, a doctor and the main character, is not a "likeable" character and I hope I haven't and won't ever encounter a doctor that thinks the way he does. I didn't find him humorous - the scene where he follows a camper to the restrooms was creepy (borderline psycho) - if you are so disgusted by someone, why follow them anywhere. Maybe his wife knows what he's like, maybe not. We don't know and won't, because Marc is the narrator. There is a lot of stuff to think about in this book, and it would definitely make for some great book club discussions. If The Dinner made you wonder what you would do to protect your children, read this. What would you do to protect society from someone you know is capable of horrendous things? Recommended, even though, after finishing the book I still don't like Marc.
