On the Fourth Sunday of each month, the Book Club will meet to discuss a literary offering, from Autobiography to Mystery, from Children's Books to Historical Drama, we're covering a range of tastes and genres. You might get to read something you'd never think of reading or even one of your old time favorites. 

Discussion 4:30 - 6:30 PM
Because Book Clubs are so civilized, and so the evening can be enjoyed by all, we do have a few rules: 

1. You can only discuss the portions of the book you have read.
2. Practice courteous public group behavior. 
3. Arrive on time. 
4. Take turns talking. 
5. Listen when others are talking. 
6. Stick to the point of the discussion.  
7. Trust your own opinions. 
8. Have opinions to contribute, but don’t dominate the discussion. 
9. Once you’ve made your own point, let it go and enjoy considering all the different ways other people look at the same issue.  

(These rules were gleaned from "How to Run a Book Club" by Dorothy Hodder.)

If you'd like to bring a main dish, or anything else, please RSVP to ecaldwell@aol.com

COLD COMFORT FARM

by Stella Gibbons

A hilarious parody of D. H. Lawrence and Thomas Hardy's earthy, melodramatic novels, the deliriously entertaining Cold Comfort Farm is "very probably the funniest book ever written"

MY SISTER'S KEEPER

by Jodi Picoult

My Sister's Keeper examines what it means to be a good parent, a good sister, a good person. Is it morally correct to do whatever it takes to save a child's life, even if that means infringing upon the rights of another? Is it worth trying to discover who you really are, if that quest makes you like yourself less? Should you follow your own heart, or let others lead you? Once again, in My Sister's Keeper, Jodi Picoult tackles a controversial real-life subject with grace, wisdom, and sensitivity.
