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.

JULY'S BOOK CLUB SELECTION
Meeting Thursday,
JULY 16, 2009 from Noon to 1:00 pm
The Hearts of Horses by
Molly Gloss
In
the winter of 1917 many of the young ranch hands in
this remote Eastern Oregon county have been called
away to war. When 19-year-old Martha Lessen
shows up at George Bliss's doorstep looking for work
breaking horses, George glimpses beneath her showy
rodeo costume a shy young woman with a serious
knowledge of horses, and he hires her on.
Martha's unusual, quiet way of breaking horses soon
wins her additional work among several of George
Bliss's neighbors. Against the backdrop of a
horrifying modern war, Martha gradually comes to
feel enveloped by a sense of community and family
she's never had before. And eventually,
against her best intentions to lead a solitary
cowboy life, she falls in love. (Fiction)

Leif Enger
Set in
1915, Monte Becket, is a disappointed one time

however, when he befriends outlaw Glendon Hale, a
charming, enigmatic, aging cowboy who has been
hiding out in Monte's small town for two decades.
Glendon and Monte set out on an adventure to find
Glendon's wife abandoned 20 years before. But

character for Monte when the relentless ex-Pinkerton
agent, Charles Siringo, begins hunting Glendon down. (Fiction)
