Dear Bookclub,
Our December getaway to the 1906 Lodge on Coronado is on! Please make your reservation, if you haven't already, for Monday, November 30 - Wednesday, December 2. After the recent inquiry, plans for our group to go to the Huntington Gardens and Library will be better for spring.
October's selection, "Euphoria" by Lily King, has been a wildly popular, well-read, discussed and reviewed novel, noted for its recognition for being the winner of the 2014 Kirkus Prize, the winner of the 2014 New England Book Award for Fiction, a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award and a "Best Book of the Year for: New York Times Book Review, Time, NPR, Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly, Newsday, Vogue, New York Magazine, Seattle Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Wall Street Journal, Boston Globe, The Guardian, Kirkus Reviews, Amazon, Publishers Weekly, Our Man in Boston, Oprah.com, Salon. In a nutshell, you will enjoy this! (It really is good.)
Please check out the King interview from Vogue re: Margaret Mead....

Also, for further referencing about the nature of the anthropologists viewpoints, the Margaret Mead- Derek Freeman controversy cenetered around "Coming of Age in Somoa" is neatly described in the following excerpt from a Carnegie Mellon document that my googling produced:

Val has chosen a cheerful lunch on the Veranda, 12:30, October 7.
Happy reading!
