January 2012 Book

We are choosing to read a LONG classic book! To accomplish this, we will do it over two meetings, and give us a little longer time frame to read. Book: Anna Karenia, by Leo Tolstoy. The version chosen is Oprah's book club edition, translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky. Elise will host the first meeting on January 7, 2013. Read up to part 5. Joan will host the 2nd meeting, time to be set at January meeting. Happy reading! 
Here is a guide to the book, and guide from publisher.

We are getting these books through a Scott County Public Library program - Book Club Kit. Awesome! Get a set of 10 books, discussion questions and a bag to tote them in. What a great deal!

This book looks interesting - local (Minnesota) connections. Reading the jacket makes me think: do I really know my neighbors???

Book for June 2011

Elise says thanks to everybody who came out to discuss Main Street. The consensus was we needed a cheat sheet of characters to make the book more readable.

We chose a more juicy, summer read for June, called The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory. We're meeting on June 22 at Linda's at 7:00. See you there!
