Our book club argued about 'The Goldfinch' for a solid hour last month
Honestly, I went in thinking the whole 'it's a modern classic' thing was just hype. Tbh, the length put me off. But then my friend Sarah pointed out how the whole plot with the painting mirrors Theo's stuck grief, which I totally missed. Ngl, that one detail made me see the book in a whole new way. Has anyone else had a book club moment that flipped their view on a story?

Our club spent twenty minutes debating the ending of "The Road" before Mark pointed out the faint smell of the ocean in the last paragraph. He argued it was a tiny sign of hope, not just bleakness. I had to reread it, and it completely changed my take on the whole book.

Wait, @aaronf40, I missed that smell completely.
