Updated Blog

Be sure to check out the blog if you want to see what we are reading next or if you would like to leave comments.  I also updated the calendar.

Today I added a box I'm calling "Other Suggestions"  I've noticed that even though we can only choose one book, we all seem to want to read all of the suggestions.  So I'll try to be diligent and add all the books - listed on the right sidebar - that way you have a large selection of ideas.

Thanks for lunch Ellen.

January Bookclub

Ladies,

Thursday the 28th I will be hosting bookclub here at 12:30.   I'm anxious to visit with all of you!  I don't know how you have done things in the past, but I looked at some reviews of "Wish You Well" and thought these two questions would be interesting to discuss together:

Lou has great trouble believing that her mother will get better, while Oz's faith never wavers. Do you believe that the older we get, the less we believe in the possibility of miracles? Is that solely because of the accumulated failures most suffer in life which chip away at the idealism of youth, or is there another reason?

  Lou and Oz learned much about their family's past in the novel. The conveyance of such familial knowledge is a major theme in the story. Do people today care about the past as a guidepost to the future? Should we place more emphasis on oral histories and lessons learned from our ancestors? Or is the future so different now that the past holds little value for us?

 Come with your thoughts and any quotes that touched you.  It would be helpful to know who is coming, so get back to me by Tuesday. 

Ellen
