May Newsletter & More

As Jan says in the May Newsletter (click here) "Put down your garden tools, get out the lounge chair and get reading." We have a dual selection for the July meeting, which should be quite interesting for reading and discussing!

Here's some more information about the possible summer book, Possession: A Romance by A.S. Byatt.
  • Winner of the 1990 Booker Prize--the U.K.'s highest literary award--Possession is a gripping and compulsively readable novel. A.S. Byatt exquisitely renders a setting rich in detail and texture. Her lush imagery weaves together the dual worlds that appear throughout the novel--the worlds of the mind and the senses, of male and female, of darkness and light, of truth and imagination--into an enchanted and unforgettable tale of love and intrigue. --Lisa Whipple
  • It's available in paperback at Amazon for $10.85. (click here). It's also available in audio format through Audible (click here).
  • It's the October selection for the Just Buffalo Literary Center's '08-'09 Season (click here) as part of it's If All of Buffalo Read the Same Book project.
Reminder: Call Marion if you're interested in joining the group at Graycliff (more info in the newsletter) on Saturday, June 13th at 11am. Space still available for Craneridge residents, friends & guests.

Summer's almost here! Happy Reading!
