January 26th meeting notes

The book group meet on January 26, 2015 to discuss The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin and all the members reporting in LOVED this book!  Why did we like it so much?  It was a variety of things--the characters, the location, the idea of a complete life, the quirky and clever ways the author catered to the reader--everything.  This may be our favorite for the year and it's only January!  For refreshments, we had gluten-free brownies and fresh fruit. 

Next Month we will be reading Black Count: Glory, Revolution, Betrayal and the Real Count of Monte Cristo a biography by Tom Reiss.  Discussion will take place on February 23 at 3pm in the Turner Room. All are welcome! Copies of the book are available at the LME Library circulation desk and the discussion sheets can be viewed online.

Summary:
Explores the life and career of Thomas Alexandre Dumas, a man almost unknown today, but whose swashbuckling exploits appear in The three musketeers and whose trials and triumphs inspired The count of Monte Cristo.
