April's Middletown Book for Discussion: How to Read a Book (April 29)
Now I knew that if I posted this yesterday, you would think this was an April Fool. A book club that needs to learn how to read a book? Ha ha! But this is for real, and that's why I'm posting it on the 2nd. 8-)
The MUM Book Discussion group will next meet on Tuesday, April 29. Our title is How to Read a Book by Monica Wood. Here is a brief summary:
"Violet Powell, a twenty-two-year-old from rural Abbott Falls, Maine, is being released from prison after serving twenty-two months for a drunk-driving crash that killed a local kindergarten teacher. Harriet Larson, a retired English teacher who runs the prison book club, is facing the unsettling prospect of an empty nest. Frank Daigle, a retired machinist, hasn't yet come to grips with the complications of his marriage to the woman Violet killed. When the three encounter each other one morning in a bookstore in Portland -- Violet to buy the novel she was reading in the prison book club before her release, Harriet to choose the next title for the women who remain, and Frank to dispatch his duties as the store handyman -- their lives begin to intersect in transformative ways." (publisher)
Here is where you can find the book:
- There are several copies available in 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 Queen of Fives, the group also shared these titles for consideration at their March 28 meeting:
