I've joined an informal reading group with some of my co-workers and this month's selection was Amsterdam by Ian McEwan. What a strange, little book. First, it's a super quick read. Just under 200 pages and interesting enough to get you hooked early. It opens at a memorial service for a woman who was a former lover of two good friends. The story itself is about said friends, their careers and the choices they make. It definately wasn't what I expected and had a very interesting resolution, if you could call it that.

While nothing spectacular, it was an interesting enough story that I would recommend. I'm definately looking forward to my group's discussion on Tuesday... and, as usually happens, I'll probably like the book alot more after we meet.
