BOOK DISCUSSION —The group meets on the second Wednesday of the month at members’ homes at 1:30 p.m. At the May meeting members offer suggestions of titles and vote for the books to be read for the September through April discussion sessions. Membership requirements include the willingness to either host one meeting or report on one book per year. Contact Nancy Weinreb or Sukie Woodruff.
BOOK ‘EM LADIES (Formerly All About Books) —Members of this group meet at 1:30 p.m. on the 3rd Wednesday of each month. The meetings remain outdoors as long as the weather cooperates and move to inside a member’s home when the cold sets in. They read both fiction and non-fiction, but try to avoid anything too depressing or violent. They choose books for 2-3 months at a time. Their discussions always begin with the book but generally expand into issues raised by the author (and other topics of common interest). Contact Jane Stanton or Diane Twomley.
LIT LOVERS — This group explores the world of contemporary literature, based on the suggestions of the group. They meet at members’ homes and take turns facilitating lively discussion about the book selection for the month. The meetings are the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 2:30. There is an initial group fee of $5.00. Contact Judy Barrile.
LITERARY SUPPER CLUB —This is a monthly book discussion group meeting on the third Wednesday of the month in member’s homes at 5:30 p.m. The hostess provides light refreshments. The reading list is eclectic and follows the whims of the group. Books and hostesses are selected in July for a ten-month cycle. In December and August they go somewhere for an activity such as dinner and a show. Fee $5. Contact Patricia Garthe.
WICKED GOOD READS –This group meets the 2nd Wednesday of the month, September through May, at the Tanglewood Condominium Clubhouse, Circleville Road, from 1:00 – 2:30 p.m.. Lively and thought-provoking discussion is the hallmark of this book group. Each month a member presents a book for examination and edification. The books may be prize winners, classics, or the latest wildly controversial read, but none are immune from the incisive scrutiny of our members. There is a one-time $5 joining fee. Contact Kathy Friedman or Lida Ouwehand.
