At our August 25th book group, we discussed Someone by Alice McDermott. Although everyone understood the writing style chosen by the author, most felt it was distracting and made the reader less inclined to connect with the characters. For treats we had Beth's favorite pasta salad, tomato/pepper/onion salad, and veggies with dip.
In September, we will be reading Wild: From lost to found on the Pacific Crest Trail by Cheryl Strayed. We will meet at 3pm in the Turner Room on September 29th. Discussion sheets are available in the library or online. In addition, the book can be discussed in the online book forum for LME Library on GoodReads.
Summary: In the wake of her mother's death, Cheryl Strayed's family scattered and her marriage was destroyed. Four years later, twenty-six years old with nothing to lose, Cheryl made the decision to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert to Washington State - alone. She had no experience as a long-distance hiker and the trail was little more than an idea. But it was a promise of piecing back together a life that had come undone.
