At our April 27th meeting, we discussed A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman. This book was one of our favorites--everyone loved Ove! Refreshments consisted of potica and fresh fruit.
Our next meeting will be a week earlier than usual due to the Memorial Day holiday. We will meet on Monday, May 18 at 3pm in the Library's Turner Room. The book is Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics by Daniel James Brown. Copies are available at LME Library and the discussion sheet is available at the library or online.
Summary: This book tells the story of the University of Washington's 1936 eight-oar crew and their epic quest for an Olympic gold medal, a team that transformed the sport and grabbed the attention of millions of Americans. It traces the story of the team that defeated elite rivals at Hitler's 1936 Berlin Olympics, sharing the experiences of their enigmatic coach, a visionary boat builder, and a homeless teen rower.
