Fall semester 2014

Well..............I'm sorry you haven't been revited by my newest news of the book group. But, you know, we are faculty and therefore NOT here in the summer. Reading the last two big fat books has been a burden for me. I'm such a slow reader so I thought this must be the reason I didn't love the books. Ah, not true, because I love Gone with the Wind! The last book, The Luminaries, brought such questions that most of use just gave up trying to put all the pieces together. Only a couple of people took the intellectual challenge. Cheers to them. We had a great meeting November 14 at the Park Cafe, talking about Elizabeth Gilbert's The Signature of All Things.

DeSano Pizza Bakery

Our meeting at the new local pizza place, DeSano Pizza Bakery, went very well. The space is somewhat like a wharehouse, but it's quiet enough for our meeting. The pizza is good and wine too. I suppose we'll continue to meet there, at least for this semester. We talked about books we read over the holidays. Tanya read and liked very much Empty Mansions. I can't remember the other books we discussed.
