“Atlantis” is the name of our Lemuria book club, and we meet the first Thursday of the month at 5:15 p.m. in the upstairs lobby of Banner Hall just outside our front door. We would love for you to join us!
We read fiction and non-fiction. Some of the titles we have read in the last year and a half have really yielded some very interesting discussions. We had very lively banters on Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson, Red Leather Diary by Lily Koppel, and Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. Two of the most challenging titles were People of the Book by Geraldine Brooks, and White Tiger by Aravind Adiga, and one of the most fun discussions occurred when we talked about The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society. For Eudora Welty’s Centennial in April, we read her Pulitzer Prize winning novel The Optimist’s Daughter. For May, we enjoyed reading Marilyn Robinson’s Gilead; some of us have already read her sequel Home!
Grab a drink or snack from Broadstreet and come join us for our discussion of City of Thieves by David Benioff on June 4, and if you want to read ahead for July 2, we’re looking at Jhumpa Lahiri’s short story collectionThe Unaccustomed Earth.
When you get your book at Lemuria, be sure to remind the person checking you to give you a 10% discount on the book we are reading for that particular month. If you have any questions, please email me at nan@lemuriabooks.com.
And one more thing, be sure to keep reading our Lemuria blog daily where you can find out what our staff is reading and read our thoughts on these great new titles. We blog everyday. Lisa is doing a great job coordinating the blog, and she enters new blogs every single day!
