July 29, 2012 - Meeting at Celia's

There were ten of us in attendance.  Book discussed was "Old Filth" by Jane Gardam.  It was my impression that no one disliked the book.  We liked it to different degrees.  Listening to each others insights, we seemed to get a greater understanding of the story of Edward Feathers "OLD FILTH".  Lori and Claire have started reading a sequel to this book "The Man in the Wooden Hat" which is the story of his wife Betty.  Lori expressed that this book clarified much that we did not perceive from OLD FILTH.   We agreed that the book was well written and that the author did not want to tell all in the first book.....so we would read on....

Claire had offered us a selection of books for our September  meeting.  Majority of votes went to "Dandelion Wine" by Ray Bradbury.  It was recommended that we serve Dandelion Wine....no matter which book was selected.  Not sure if it was the author or the wine that attracted the votes??

Our next meeting will be on Sunday, August 26, 1:30pm at Judy's.  Book will be "In the Time of the Butterflies" by Julia Alvarez.

The September 30, meeting will be at Joy's.
