June's Middletown Book for Discussion: Revisiting a Book From Your Past (June 14)

The MUM Book Discussion group will next meet on Friday, June 14.  We are not all reading the same title this time, but taking on more of a challenge: what is a book you've read in your past, perhaps a classic from middle school or high school, that you did not enjoy? Try reading it now, and share with the group how your perspective may have changed. We think this will be a fun experience for each individual, but will also give us a chance to discuss many books in the same session.

What will your choice be? Beowulf? The Importance of Being Earnest? The Old Man and the Sea? The Great Gatsby? Lord of the Flies? The Tempest? 

Here is where you can find the book you choose:

• Check the catalogs for copies at Miami, OhioLINK, and SearchOhio libraries.  

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 Days Without End, the group also shared these titles for consideration at their May 14 meeting:
