May's Middletown Book for Discussion: Dandelion Wine (May 5)

 

​

The MUM Book Discussion group will next meet on Friday, May 5.  We couldn't find a good date to meet in April, so we'll move it into May at the end of the last week of classes. Our title is Ray Bradbury's Dandelion Wine.  Here is a brief summary:

"In the unusual world of Green Town, Illinois, a twelve-year-old discovers the wonders of reality and the power of imagination during the summer of 1928."  (publisher)

Here is where you can find the book:

• There are several copies available in Miami University Libraries, OhioLINK, and SearchOhio.  
  
• Amazon has the hardcover, paperback, Kindle, and audiobook available, and Bookshop.org has links to purchase the title from independent booksellers.

Our group is always finding interesting titles to share, and we look forward to the new things you'll bring to the table.  In addition to discussing The Magnolia Palace, the group also shared these titles for consideration at their March 24 meeting:

• A Wild Rose, Fiona Davis 
• Bill Cunningham: New York (documentary)
• Homage to Catalonia, George Orwell
• Still Pictures: On Photography and Memory, Janet Malcolm
• An Immense World, Ed Yong
• The Blue Wonder: Why the Sea Glows, Fish Sing, and Other Astonishing Insights from the Ocean, Frauke Bagusche
• Tinkers, Paul Harding
• Black Beauty (Unabridged), Anna Sewell

We will meet at 12 pm on the 5th both in Room 123 in the Library and in Zoom at
