Hello Bookies!
Autumn is in the air, and we have made our selections for the Fall Book Group Reading. We have a new day - the last Wednesday of the month at 3:00 pm. I want to explore the possibility of adding a monthly Saturday afternoon session, as well - same books - for those who are not able to meet during the work week. Let me know (by reply to this email) if that is an option that would appeal to you.
For now, we'll plan to meet on the following dates to discuss:
September 25: Theme: Vietnam War
Nonfiction: The Best and the Brightest by David Halberstam
Fiction: The Women by Kristin Hannah
October 30: Theme: Native American, Identity
Nonfiction: Birding while Indian: a mixed-blood memoir by Thomas Gannon
Fiction: Night of the Living Rez: Stories by Morgan Talty
November 27: Theme: Arab-Israeli Conflict
Nonfiction: The Lemon Tree: an Arab, a Jew, and the heart of the Middle East by Sandy Tolan
Fiction: To the End of the Land by David Grossman
December 23: (Monday due to holiday)Theme: History of illumination
Nonfiction: Brilliant: the evolution of artificial light by Jane Brox
Fiction: Last Days of Night by Graham Moore
I look forward to another season of good reading and great discussion. You all bring so much to the table!
