August 2016 Recap




Dear Bookclub,
A perfect summer night on The Veranda, with an attentive waiter, made for a truly lovely bookclub evening. Despite dwindling light and a long table hindering conversation between those distantly separated, book discussions and administrative tasks were successfully executed. Quindlan's book, read by most all, was well-received with the appreciation of the social commentary of the era. I'd mentioned an enlightening interview of Anna Q. with Diane Rehm:

Sue channeled Lynne's suggestions (we missed you Lynne!!) and presented the following:
"Go Set a Watchman" Harper Lee
"The Children Act" Ian McEwan *chosen
"Before the Fall" Noah Hawley

Please brainstorm for a December selection and send me your ideas.
Also, please remember to put October 18 on your calendar at Martha's - this meeting will be a Tuesday instead of a Thursday.

Up next: "The Widow Clicquot" by Tilar Mazzeo; it will be a merry time at Lynn T's on September 15!

Cheers to reading,
LK
