The Middlesex readings...

Our meeting at RedEye coffee was a success!  We met and discussed the book The Next Thing on my List.  The book definitely delivered on its promise to be warm, and an adventure.  Some of the members hadn't had time to finish it, so we did more discussing of plot issues rather than the discussion questions.  All of us agreed that the main character changed from the beginning of the book to the end, and that her job was unique.

After the book club, we went and saw the film "Shutter Island", which starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Ben Kingsley.  It was a psychological thriller about a mental institution about the criminally insane.  It a twist ending, so for all of you going to see it, it was good.

Our next book club meeting will be on March 6th, at the RedEye Coffee shop.  We will be discussing the book Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides.  This book discusses the life of a young Greek girl in America.  It should be a great read.

As always, we welcome new faces! Cheers!

Reading the Next Thing on My List

 

Our meeting for The Lace Reader was great.  At 12:00, We ordered our spiced chai latte from RedEye, and sat down at a table in the unusually crowded shop to discuss our latest novel.  We discussed the theme of the book, the meaning and definition of crazy, and what in the heck lace had to do with any of it.  It was a very interesting book, with a lot of twists and turns.

After we discussed to book for a while, we went to see our movie of the day, Crazy Heart starring Jeff Bridges and Colin Farrell.  It was a movie about a country singer down on his luck, and the events in his life that made him see what is worth living for.

Our next book is entitled The Next Thing on My List by Jill Smolinski.  It heralded as "Warm and Original...An adventure." --  People Magazine.  I hope this book will make us all smile.

Like the last few meetings, we will be meeting at RedEye coffee house on the corner of 4th and Thomasville.  We will meet at 11:00 ( unless a movie forces us later), on the 20th. Till then!

Cheers!
