Sunday's Meeting

We had a small but dedicated group to discuss Eat, Pray Love on Sunday, Nov. 11. Angie Murphy led and did her homework. Since it was just 3 of us, Mary Hausman, me and Angie, we got through all the discussion questions and did them justice. We even began talking about our next book!

Since there were so few of us there I hope our members who read the book will chime in on this blog with some comments on the book. Let's keep this discussion going here in cyberspace. I for one am anxious to hear what the rest of our members thought about this very different book club choice.

Our next meeting is Jan 6th, 2008. It will be in the GH library from 2-4. Our selection is Anne Rice's Christ the Lord. I will lead the discussion and we'll need a snack volunteer so please let me know if you are willing.

Hope all are well and I look forward to some comments on Eat, Pray, Love.

Sunday, September 30. The Education of Little Tree

Hello everyone. I thought I'd start the post for tomorrow's meeting in case anyone who can't make it would like to comment on the book ahead of time. I'll check the blog for new comments and bring them to tomorrow's meeting. That way you'll be participating, even if it is via cyberspace. :)

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's discussion!

Sunday, Ap 19th's discussion of Speaks the Nightbird by Robert McCammon

Welcome to the Millennium Bood Club Blog. I hope this online venture will serve as a means to extend our discussions beyond the Sunday afternoon meetings and provide a way for those members who can't be present on meeting days to participate in and benefit from the group.

The August 19th meeting was small, but definitely boisterous, from the reports I heard from a few who were present. Apparently the book evoked spirited discussion! Some loved the book, others didn't care for it at all. But this is what makes for good discussion. It was pointed out that the author didn't do his homework on some aspects of history, having the characters use matches when they were not yet invented. Some members felt that the attitudes and situations were somewhat liberal for the times and that several situations were a bit far fetched. The comment was made that our first read by this author, A Boy's Life, was much better. Angie brought a beautiful strawberry trifle for the snack....another reason to be sad to have missed the meeting!

The "floor" is still open and we'd love to hear from those who read the book but couldn't make it to the meeting. Your comments will be much anticipated and appreciated!

As a reminder, our next meeting will be on Sunday, Sept 30th. The Green Hills Library is not available that day so I'll make arrangements for a meeting place and let you know soon. Our Sept read is The Education of Little Tree by Forrest Carter.

Hope to read your comments soon!
