Okay, so we will have to skip our September book club meeting because I don't know if anyone had a chance to look at the new blog yet (besides the three of us that signed up as followers). We want to give everyone enough time to read the book so we're moving our meeting to October. Here's the info:
When: Wednesday, October 17th at 7:30pm
Where: Katie Poulsen's house
Which Book: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
About the Book:
The unforgettable novel
of a childhood in a sleepy Southern town and the crisis of conscience
that rocked it, To Kill A Mockingbird became both an instant bestseller
and a critical success when it was first published in 1960. It went on
to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and was later made into an Academy
Award-winning film, also a classic.
Compassionate, dramatic, and
deeply moving, To Kill A Mockingbird takes readers to the roots of human
behavior - to innocence and experience, kindness and cruelty, love and
hatred, humor and pathos. Now with over 18 million copies in print and
translated into forty languages, this regional story by a young Alabama
woman claims universal appeal. Harper Lee always considered her book to
be a simple love story. Today it is regarded as a masterpiece of
American literature. (goodreads.com)
Please come even if you don't end up reading the book. We will spend some time at the beginning of the meeting just chatting and announcing the book for November. You can leave after that if you don't want the ending spoiled for you, or stay if you don't mind! See you there!
