Join us Online! June's Middletown Book Discussion Group

The MUM Book Discussion group will next meet on Tuesday, June 30 to discuss the book(s) we've each been reading lately.  We have a challenge for this time:  re-read a book you read long ago, and see what your thoughts on it are now.  We suggested books we read (or, ahem, were supposed to read) in high school, or anything where time has passed and a second go might bring new perspectives, or a confirmation of past impressions.

We normally discuss a single book, but given our distributed nature and the lack of easy access to multiple library copies of books, we thought we'd have an open discussion for people to share whatever they've been reading between now and the time of the meeting.  

Our group is always finding interesting titles to share, and we look forward to the new things you'll bring to the table.  On May 26th, the group shared these titles to add to your reading/viewing lists:

• James Lee Burke's Dave Robicheaux novels (there are 23 of them, starting with Neon Rain)
