Welcome readers of fiction and non-fiction to Lemuria’s book club!

An open invitation awaits those Lemuria readers who would like the opportunity to join a lively, challenging book club. We call ourselves “Atlantis”. We meet at 5:30 p.m. in the upstairs lobby on the second floor of Banner Hall, just outside the front door of Lemuria, on the first Thursday of each month, unless it falls on a holiday. Our next meeting is Thursday, Feb. 5, when we will discuss The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga, a provocative foreign fiction read set in India.

In addition to discussing a wide variety of  Southern fiction, literary fiction, and foreign fiction, as well as non-fiction,  newcomers will have an unusual opportunity to meet other readers from around the Jackson area. Formed about a year and a half ago, we are an informal, small group, and would welcome any new readers. As an extra benefit, book club members receive a 10% discount on book club selections. Some of the books we have read in the last year are:

Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson

The Most Dangerous Age by Ellen Gilchrist

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society by Mary Ann Shafer

The Red Leather Diary by Lily Koppel

Alfred and Emily by Doris Lessing

So Brave, Young, and Handsome by Leif Enger

Mudbound by Hillary Jordan

Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson

Peony in Love by Lisa See
