Forrest Gump by Winston Groom

Tonight was a super fun meeting! It was hosted at my house and we did a southern theme to kind of match the home town of Forrest Gump. We had fried okra, cornbread, chocolate buttermilk pie, fried chicken, biscuits, lemonade, and tiramisu from Jenny! With those who read the book, we all agreed that we love the movie more than the book, which is rare! The book and the movie are just sooo different. You can't really compare the two. We thought the book was still very entertaining though, especially how it was written. Most loved that it was written exactly how he talks, but some really didn't like that at all.

Most people have seen the movie, but have you read this book? What did you think of it?

The next book we are going to read is Chosen by a Horse by Susan Richards!

Here are some photos from the night:
