July's Middletown Book for Discussion: I Cheerfully Refuse (July 26)

 

The MUM Book Discussion group will next meet on Friday, July 26.  Our title is I Cheerfully Refuse by Leif Enger. Here is a brief summary:

"The tale of a bereaved and pursued musician embarking under sail on a sentient Lake Superior in search of his departed, deeply beloved, bookselling wife."  (publisher)

Here is where you can find the book:

• There are several copies available in Miami and SearchOhio libraries.  
  
• Amazon has the hardcover, paperback, and Kindle 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 books we were revisiting from our pasts (at the start of the list below), the group also shared these titles for consideration at their June 14 meeting:
