White Teeth

You know how you read a book, then re-read it several years later and you’ve pretty much forgotten everything? It can be kinda cool, really. You know… you get to experience it all again and it’s like the first time.

That’s how it was with White Teeth* for me. We read it for the Civil Life reading group. Of course we met to discuss it on April 15, and I didn’t finish the book until like May 10 or something… Yeah.

It’s really a cool book. Set in London in the 70s through the 90s, it traverses time, cultures, religions…. it questions beliefs, motives, emotions… It’s really complex, yet simple at the same time.

Just go read it.
