BOOK CLUB
On-Going.........Third Thursday of
each month..........Noon-1:00 pm..........No Fee
If you want to join a book club where
participants tell you what they REALLY think about the book,
this is the group for you. We mince no words in discussing our likes
and dislikes of a book. We are a very informal group. We don't
have a leader, but take turns going around the room and hearing each
persons views about the book. This often leads us in to lively
discussions of past events in the area or in our lives. Before
leaving, we vote on a book for the following month.

MARCH'S BOOK CLUB SELECTION
Meeting Thursday,
MARCH 18, 2010 from Noon to 1:00 pm
In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the
Whaleship Essex by
Nathaniel Philbrick
The ordeal of the whaleship Essex was an
event as mythic in the nineteenth century as the
sinking of the Titanic was in the twentieth.
In 1819, the Essex left Nantucket for the
South Pacific with twenty crew members aboard.
In the middle of the South Pacific the ship was
rammed and sunk by an angry sperm whale. The
crew drifted for more than ninety days in three tiny
whaleboats, succumbing to weather, hunger, disease,
and ultimately turning to drastic measures in the
fight for survival. Nathaniel Philbrick
reveals the chilling events surrounding this epic
maritime disaster. An Intense and mesmerizing
read, the book was named the winner of the National
Book Award. (Non-Fiction)

APRIL'S BOOK CLUB SELECTION
Meeting Thursday,
APRIL 15, 2010 from Noon to 1:00 pm
The Glass Castle by
Jeannette Walls
Jeannette Walls grew up with parents whose ideals
and stubborn nonconformity were both their curse and
their salvation. Rex and Rose Mary Walls had
four children. In the beginning, they lived
like nomads, moving among Southwest desert towns,
camping in the mountains. Later, when the
money ran out, the Walls retreated to the dismal
West Virginia mining town that Rex Walls had done
everything he could to escape. As the
dysfunction of the family escalated, Jeannette and
her brother and sisters had to fend for themselves,
supporting one another as they weathered their
parents' betrayals and, finally, found the resources
and will to leave home. (Non-Fiction)
