Norma reviews My Antonia by Willa Cather

Norma will be reviewing My Antonia by Willa Cather.  Please join us at Danielle's.

Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

Let's join Vicki at Norma's for a review of Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert.


P.S. Hi Ladies


The book for June is Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert.
The author travels for one year to discover eating in Italy, praying in India and loving in Bali. Some of what she discovers/believes will be foreign to us but I found her writing to be interesting and thought provoking. I'd like to give an assignment for each of the three sections. Find a thought or passage in each section that rings true for you and prepare to read/discuss them on June 23 at Norma's house. If you've already read the book, any thoughts you have will be fine - no need to reread.

Have a good day in the snow.

Vicki

The Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway

Jean will be expounding on The Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway.  We will meet at Jean's home.

Ex Libris by Anne Fadiman

Ex Libris is a Latin phrase, meaning literally, "from books.  Let's join Sue as she leads us through a discussion of the very intellectual, cerebral and erudite Ex Libris by Anne Fadiman.  Warning, you might want to read this with your dictionary by your side... lol.

Note from Sue as per Danielle's email:
"Also Sue has suggested for our next discussion everyone bring one word from the book Ex Libris that they were unfamiliar with and the definition. If you are like me, you will have lots to choose from! Also, if you could bring a memory of when or where you got your love of reading or as Sue said, "we will hold a love of reading testimony meeting!" Should be a really fun discussion!"

The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak

If you love a great book, you'll love The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak.  Brenda will be sharing her insights on January 27th, 2010.
