Hi,
I'm looking for something light not too heavy for summer book discussion.
Does anybody have any suggestions? or what is your group reading in June July
and August?
Thanks,
Sandra

Since many of our book discussion group members go on vacation during
those months, we do a potluck/bring a favorite book to share evening, and
then go back to our "meaty" schedule in the fall. That way nobody feels
pressure to skip a month or two during the summer, and we all enjoy
hearing about each other's recent faves and eating delicious potluck
dishes!

We wanted something lighter for December, so we chose
At Home in Mitford by Jan Karon. Her books would be
good for summer, too.

I live in a very seasonal area with a healthy percentage of the population
heading north for the summer, so our demographics definitely change then.

We generally choose at least one light book for the summer and perhaps a
foray into genre fiction, which we usually avoid. This summer is no
exception, we are reading LAST DAYS OF SUMMER by Steve Kluger in June. In
July we are doing a book by an author that we have read before and enjoyed,
Wallace Stegner's CROSSING TO SAFETY and in August, a mystery, THE
CONSPIRACY OF PAPER by David Liss.

If anyone is interested in what we have done in the past, the lists for the
past two years are available at http://www.bookbitch.com/2000.htm. The
complete list for 2002 may be found at http://www.bookbitch.com/schedule.htm

Hope this helps.

We are doing My Antonia in June. There will be no meeting in July as the meeting
date is July 4 and the library is closed. In August we are doing Anita Shreve's
Fortune's Rocks.

Have you read Peter Mayle's A Year in Provence, or any of his other books
about France? Our Staff book group just read the first one, and we ALL
loved it! I now have to read ALL of his books! And, see the videos. Good
luck! Julie A. Roberts [removed]@rolling-meadows.lib.il.us

A few titles that are fairly easy reading, yet engendered a lively
discussion in my group, are: About a Boy, by Nick Hornby; Inn at Lake
Devine(already mentioned), by Elinor Lipman; The Answer is Yes, by Sara
Lewis; Tender at the Bone, by Ruth Reichl; and A Patchwork Planet, by
Anne Tyler.
