AUGUST 20 Meeting

Tonight we ventured up to the Linda's house on the mountain. Edna manages to make it to the meeting despite the fact she broke both ankles. Alice chauffeured her . Linda layed out a Mexican dinner complete with homemade salsa, guacamole and tacos, muy bueno. Oh course we had an assortment of refreshments, the mandatory wine and drinks. Ruthi, Linda's guest make a scrumptious angel food cake with pineapple and cream, topped off with fresh peaches.

After dessert Linda lead the discussion of The Shack" with several questions. I thought it was going to be kinda heavy discussion but for the most part everyone agreed it was a good book and had an interesting concept of God. Edna thought it was more of a politically correct version of God, which I would have to agree. Louisa was not happy with the use of the child's murder to introduce the plot. Out of a ranking of 5, the book was given between a 3 - 4. I thought it was OK and not the must read the author seemed to express.

Next month we will meet at Sharon Henderson's house on September 17th and read "The Glass Castle" by Jeanette Walls. Summer is almost over so enjoy what is left to it. Poor Louisa has to go back to school tomorrow so her summer is officially over.

Think about what book you would like to introduce to the club next year and what month you would like to host.

If anyone has books they want listed on this blog, please post a comment to this blog.

Enjoy reading and see you in a month.
