I missed this meeting held at Stephanie's house, but, I understand that the majority of the group who attended did not care for "Sin in the Second City". Several disliked it enough to not finish the book. I understand that it stimulated some interesting discussions. Ann and I discussed the book while in Mexico. We both enjoyed the book.....thinking of it as a piece of American History. It was an eye opener in many ways. Our Thornton Librarian, Selena, loved the book and could not put it down. So, it looks as if there were many diverse opinions on "Sin in the Second City".
Our next meeting is on Sunday, March 28, at Claire's condo in Bretton Woods. We will meet early - 10am to discuss our book - "The Heart is a Lonely Hunter" by Carson McCullers. We will break for lunch and then watch the video "The Story of Mothers and Daughters" followed by a discussion of this documentary.
April Book Selection - It was Marilyn's turn to suggest books. Her choices were:
"Main Street" by Sinclair Lewis
"Mists of Avalon" by Marian Zimmer Bradley
"Gilead" by Marilynne Robinson
"The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay" by Michael Chabon
All were excellent choices. And the winner was (by one vote) "Main Street" by Sinclair Lewis.
Patricia has ordered this book for us.
