Beautiful August day ....We sat out on Marilyn's deck. Stephanie led our discussion of "The Round House" by Louise Eldridge. Good discussion about Native American culture, rituals, prejudices and rights. If Joe's mother had been Caucasian, would her rapist have been arrested and tried? Was there a double standard for crimes against the tribal people? Of those present, all but two liked this book.
Voted on Carol's list of book recommendations for our October 27th meeting. Majority voted for "When we were the Kennedys" by Monica Wood. MJ offered her home for the October meeting.
September 29, meeting - There was no longer any interest in the suggested boat ride on Squam Lake. Meeting will be held at Joy's house. Book to be discussed is "Paris Wife" by Paula McLain.
As per our custom, we will skip our November 24th meeting and hold a November/December meeting on Sunday, December 8. Opps.....that might not work. That is the date of Marilyn's concert which many of us attend. Suggestion: What if we meet at 11am or noon and then go to the 3pm concert??
