Rocket Boys - Last Session

DEBBIE: I like the end of the book how his dad came to be proud of son, how he came be like his son; the other one was football player.

SUSAN: The poem by Angelo De Ponciano helped in understanding Homer's dad; he must have had some empty dreams, which is why he'd circled that poem, at least until he launched Homer's rocket!

DOREEN: The book was boring. Unless you are into rockets. The book on CD -the reader was very fast and hard to understand.

JOE: It was a interesting book. It talk about missile, and AUK XXXI was a number for a missile. It was six and a half feet long and a quarter inches in diameter.

Reluctant Journey of David Connors
Don Locke

Moderator: Susan

The Tuesday Readers Book Club is finishing our current book, The Reluctant Journey of David Connors by Don Locke.

Mr. Locke is here tonight to talk to us about it.

From Publishers Weekly: In this unusual novel, Locke, a writer for NBC's Tonight Show, takes readers on a surreal journey involving a magic carpetbag, with mixed results. David Connors is a Chicago video games art director who has let alcohol and an inability to get in touch with his feelings separate him from his wife and two young children. The Christmas season only exacerbates these feelings, and he throws himself out of his 39th-floor office window. When his life is spared, a magic carpetbag he's discovered provides endless objects that hold clues to his past.
