"The Reader" is a novel written by German author Bernhard Schlink and catapulted to American pop fame by Oprah's Book Club and a movie starring Kate Winslet. I've just started the audio-book, so I'm not going to make any big pronoucements on how good it is or not yet. Too soon to tell. I can tell you that "The Elegance of the Hedgehog" and "The Secret River" were awesome books....both in the quality of the stories, characters and language. Of equal importance to me are the messages embedded in the texts and questions they raise.
