August Bookclub Read

August Bookclub Read:

Host: Haelie

Book: Oliver Twist, by Charles Dickens

Response of the Bookclub Members: The members didn't not discuss the book plot but discussed
the novel's static one dimensional book characters in light of the fact that this was one of the very first novels ever written and it was a new unusual genre for readers and related that fact to the way characters are created in today's novels.

July Bookclub Meeting

July Bookclub Meeting

Host: Pat

Book: Breakfast With Buddha

Response of Bookclub Members: Most members enjoyed this short and easy read about a strange but delightful roadtrip between a married Christian father and this man's sister's guru friends who claims to be a shaman. Everyone agreed that the book caused one to pause and think of the world thru a different perspective.
