Wilton Reads is focusing on Ann Patchett's latest book, State of Wonder. 
The activities culminate in an author visit on May 30 at Wilton Library. 
You can sign up for that now - if interested. See link above. 
I considered switching our books around to accomodate reading this book - but let's not complicate matters! 
I registered for May 30. Hope you guys will join me!

OK - based on the fact that hardly anyone is getting anywhere with the book - I think we should get together and talk a little about the book - but also see a movie.
So - Ellen is having issues with hosting on Monday night. I suggest we see a movie together at Bethel Cinema.
I'll put out info on possibilities shortly.

Just curious - how far do you think you'll be in Hemingway's Boat by Monday?

Catching up: City of Thieves

I finally finished the book last week. It was a great read. I liked it a lot and will recommend it to others. Thanks to whoever put that on our list. It was a book I never would have picked up myself.

I am close to finishing the audio version of Brave New World read beautifully by Michael York. I had brought it up as a book club selection but no one was too interested. I have to tell you that I highly recommend reading/listening to this book. It is a fascinating perspective on futuristic utopia and, really, a "negative utopia" as Huxley referred to it. 

Reminder: 
Hemingway's Boat at Ellen's on Mar 26. 
RSVP to Ellen please!
I haven't gotten the book yet. Anyone have a copy they can loan?
