Dear Bookclub,
This has been a very hard month. Unfathomable. Layered upon many other difficult months from our members' lives, it seems that the uncharted waters stretch all around us. Faith and friendship have proven to be powerful. I appreciate our group so very much.
Our gathering at Martha's for the October meeting was small and restorative (and more of the month was yet to come). "The Dream Life of Astronauts" may as well have been a handbook on keeping lizards; that's how deep that discussion was. It actually is a fine set of short stories, but we meandered. Martha and Dave shared some neat tales of autocross and Porsche passion, Ben's band "Red 40 and the Last Groovement" releasing an album..not usual book talk but memorable!
Martha's hard-to-chose list for an upcoming selection:
"Etta and Otto and Russel and James" by Emma Hooper
"The Art Forger: A Novel" by B. A. Shapiro *chosen
"The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character and Achievement" by David Brooks
"Thinking Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman
Up next is Ian McEwan's "The Children Act". Please RSVP to Kim for the November 17 meeting.
Happy reading,
LK
