March, April, & May 2024

In March, we read Michael Pollan's This is Your Mind on Plants. The first two chapters were OK but the last one on mescaline didn't seem to fit. We felt the book would have been better if the last chapter was on alcohol. 

At our April 29th meeting, we discussed This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger. We had a great discussion (discussion sheets available here) and everyone enjoyed the book. We felt it was similar (found family, journey, coming of age) to another book we recently read and loved: The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles.


Our next meeting is on May 20th at 3pm. We will be discussing Vanderbilt by Anderson Cooper. Copies of the book are available at the library desk and the discussion sheets are available for pickup or online.

Summary of Vanderbilt: Drawing on never-before-seen documents and told from a unique insider's viewpoint, the CNN anchor tells the story of his legendary family and their remarkable influence.
