Book Discussion

Beginning in September, our book discussion group will meet at 10:00am the second Monday of each month at Silver Lake.

We invite you to join us for a night of intellectual discussion. Please feel free to bring your ideas, thoughts, and comments about the current selection and future choices.

November's Selection
The Wonder Boys by Michael Chabon
Monday, November 10, 2008
10:00am at Silver Lake, For more information, please call 262-843-3348.
A modern classic, now in a welcome new edition, Wonder Boys firmly established Michael Chabon as a force to be reckoned with in American fiction. At once a deft parody of the American fame factory and a piercing portrait of young and old desire, this novel introduces two unforgettable characters: Grady Tripp, a former publishing prodigy now lost in a fog of pot and passion and stalled in the midst of his endless second book, and Grady’s student, James Leer, a budding writer obsessed with Hollywood self-destruction and struggling with his own searching heart. All those who love Michael Chabon’s The Yiddish Policemen’s Union and his Pulitzer Prize-winning The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay will find the same elegant imagination, bold humor, and undeniable warmth at work in Wonder Boys.

December's Selection
Rebecca by Daphne DuMaurier
Monday, December 8, 2008
10:00am at Silver Lake, For more information, please call 262-843-3348.
"Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again."

So begins the classic Rebecca, the unsurpassed modern masterpiece of romantic suspense -- one of the bestselling novels of all time! And so begins the remembrances of the second Mrs. Maxim de Winter, as she recalls the events that led her to the isolated gray stone manse on the windswept Cornish coast. With a husband she barely knew, the young bride arrived at this immense estate, only to be inexorably drawn into the life of the first Mrs. de Winter, the beautiful Rebecca -- dead, but never forgotten; her suite of rooms never touched; her clothes still ready to be worn; and her servant, the sinister Mrs. Danvers, still royal. And as an eerie presentiment of evil tightened around her heart, the second Mrs. de Winter began her search for the real fate of Rebecca -- and for the secrets of Manderley.

To reserve a copy of the current book, please stop by the Information desk at our Salem location or call us at 262-843-3348.
