Little late with my follow up, but the
meeting at Tara’s the week before last was lovely, interesting and well
attended. None of us could quite remember why we decided to read these
two books together. I think we might have erroneously thought
they both were related to amnesia. Themes of memory did tie them
loosely, and Tara and Marty did a great job of pulling the discussion
together. Neither book blew the group away. Scores tallied 2.3 for
What Alice Forgot and 2.8 for Vanishing Acts.
Just average, with our new rating system of 2.5 being your standard,
solidly written book.
In other news, Kathy was congratulated for her
and her paintings being featured in an
art magazine. Donna announced that the Craneridge Moondance catamaran
excursion is set for a Saturday in July. I believe it is July 23rd, but
she can correct me if I have that wrong. Thanks again, Tara, for
opening up your home.
I do know one reason that we choose to read
two books last month was that we couldn’t agree upon a “long classic”.
May I suggest that perhaps next year’s March meeting be devoted to a
classic (regardless of length) so that we can get at least
one of those in per year? Just a thought…
Next up is Our Souls at Night by
Kent Haruf. If you haven’t started it yet, don’t worry. Jen assures
us that it is less than 200 pages of very spare, yet beautiful, writing.
The meeting is set for Wednesday, April 20th at Carol’s. Please let Carol know if you plan on
attending. We could probably use another wine volunteer or two. So far
we have:
There have been a couple of changes to the previously published e-mail list. Please make the changes in your contact lists. We will try to get out an updated rooster soon.Appetizers: Marty, Donna and JuneDessert: Jill B and IreneWine: Kathy, Jen, Loraine and Tara
That’s all I have for now. I hope you are all curled up with a good book today, listening to the wind blowing some spring snow our way. Hopefully after this we will sail into spring!
