April 1 - Next Meeting

Yes, our next meeting is scheduled for April 1 (7 pm at RVPL), and we'll be discussing Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay.

For May we'll be reading Skippy Dies by Paul Murray (available at RVPL) and June will be dedicated to recent Nobel Prize for Lit winner Mario Vargas Llosa. We'll be reading his Death In the Andes.

Looking forward to these! Happy late winter/early spring reading, everyone -

Sarah's Key

Well I haven't done this for a long time - read a book in less than twenty-four hours. I think we'll have plenty to talk about with this work . . . on Friday April 1 is it?
 

Similarities?

I was talking w/Ryan about our latest book (I hogged it and just finished so he hasn't read it yet) and he asked if the character was a bit like Lt. Glahn in Pan. I hadn't really thought about that but now that I'm done with the book, I think there certainly are similarities between the two...what do you guys think? Same strange modes of self-expression, self-absorption, juvenility, hostility toward women, neediness? And written around the same time...something to think about.

The next books . . .

We'll be meeting to talk about  As a Man Grows Older by Italo Svevo on Friday 25 February seven o'clock PM at the RV Library. . .

and in March our book will be Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay.

Next Meeting - January 21

Our next meeting is scheduled for January 21 (7 p.m., Round Valley Public Library). We'll be discussing Knut Hamsun's Pan.

In February we'll be reading As a Man Grows Older by Italo Svevo and in March our book will be Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay.
