Fresh off the presses, ladies and gents, I bring to you our survey of Great American Novels!
October: True Grit, Charles Portis (Irlbecks)
November: The Last of the Mohicans, James Fennimore Cooper (Hammonds)
December: The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald (Williams)
January: Death Comes to the Archbishop, Willa Cather (Spurgins)
February: Delta Wedding, Eudora Welty (Parmenters)
April: The Europeans, Henry James (Skinners)
May: To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee (Stirlings)
These seven great books are a thoughtful sampling of American literature, both in the way they reflect regional culture and cover a wide variety of time periods. The Great Gatsby is well placed, because the Roaring 20's will be the theme of our Christmas Party this year. So, be on the lookout for jazz-age flapper fashions and bowler hats! It will be the cat's pajamas. Or the bee's knees!
You will note that we are skipping March as a meeting month this year to allow for Spring Break and Easter Week following directly upon it. Also, Pirates of Penzance will be performed during that time. All meetings are on the third Friday of the month.
Please pass this list to old or occasional members so that they can drop in on a favorite book! We'll see you on October 16 when we head to Arkansas to discuss True Grit.
Happy Reading!
Mrs. S.
