October 2016 Book Discussions

At 10:00 am on October 18, the Tuesday Morning Book Group will be discussing The Tilted World, a historical novel by Tom Franklin and his wife Beth Ann Fennelly. Set in a river town in Mississippi in the spring of 1927 as the river levels rise and levees upstream start failing; a tale of federal revenuers, a baby, and moonshiners. Here’s my recent review.

The Tuesday Evening Book Group will meet at 7:00 pm on October 25 to talk about Georgia, by Dawn Tripp. This is a biographical novel about Georgia O’Keeffe, her long, adventurous life, her art, and her relationship with her older husband, photographer Alfred Stieglitz. Read more here.

The Crime Readers will be discussing Our Kind of Traitor, by John Le Carré at 7:00 pm on Thursday, October 20 at Home Run Inn Pizza in Darien, with optional dinner at 6:00 pm. A recent spy thriller set in Antigua, England, and Paris by a highly regarded novelist who served in British Intelligence during the Cold War. Check out our current display of Spy Thrillers, or look for Le Carré’s new memoir, The Pigeon Tunnel : Stories From My Life. The Crime Readers are co-sponsored by the Indian Prairie Public Library.
