Second Tuesday Book Club

2nd_Tuesday_Group

This active fiction loving book club meets the 2nd Tuesday evening of each month to discuss mostly fiction titles....sometimes a memoir or biography will slip in. 

This group is famous for bring delicious pupu's and beverages so don't be shy come with something to share. 

The book below is the book to be discussed during this evening so buy it early (from an independent book store) and try to finish it for the discussion.  It's ok if you don't....and sometime people don't read it at all and just come to socialize....you are welcome!

 


Goon_SquadJanuary 10th book discussion will be on Jennifer Egan's book "A Visit from the Good Squad". This book just won the 2011 Pulizer Prize for Literature.

Covering a period of about 40 years, the characters’ stories—all entangled, some peripheral—occur nonsequentially. The book begins with Sasha, the sad kleptomaniac and assistant to Bennie, a music industry executive, who spends boatloads of money on gold flakes he sprinkles into his coffee, attempting to quell his shame-based memories. As a teenager, Bennie played in a mediocre band, The Flaming Dildos, with his friend Scotty. Jocelyn, Rhea, and Alice tagged along as devoted groupies. While Scotty clearly possessed more talent, Bennie was taken under the wing of Lou, a pimped-up hawk who, in the meantime, convinced under-aged Jocelyn to follow him to L.A. Lou’s side story—that of taking his two young children and then-mistress on an African safari—portrays Lou imparting his venomous theories about women to his 11-year-old son Rolph.

This group meets from 6:30 - 8 PM.
