| The Future of Reading 1935 * |
Dear Bookclub,
Our social need to gather had us flocking to The Barrel Room; the siren call of bookclub squeezing commitments, schedules and tempting some of us to drink a bottle of wine. Sorry that Wanda was not able to jump into the last minute meeting and welcoming TG back into the fold, we did relish our chat: books and otherwise. *Little did futurists realize that the future of reading would be women 'reading' on phones, e-devices, having books read to them via the same and then having to band together to share the experience and plan more!
Terry sweetly complied with my very last minute request to provide suggestions for an upcoming read:
"Go Set a Watchman" Harper Lee
"The Juggler's Children" Carolyn Abraham
"When the Killing's Done" T.C. Boyle *chosen
September's selection, Annie Prouix's "Barkskins", 'an epic, dazzling, violent, magnificently dramatic novel about the taking down of the world’s forests', as characterized by the New York Times is to be discussed on the 7th, approximately 80pp/day away for those of us who have not started it. Yikes!
We are working on December plans. Please ponder suggestions for a December read and share your ideas.
Happy reading,
LK
