"I have sometimes dreamt that when the Day of Judgment

dawns-the Almighty will turn to Peter and will say when he sees us coming with

our books under our arms, 'Look, these need no reward. We have nothing to give

them here. They have loved reading.'" -Virginia Woolf

November Book

The book for this month is The Giver by Lois Lowry. It is a Newbery winner about a Utopian society. I have one copy (Hyrum Library's copy) that will soon be available and Chris said that she may be able to get another copy or two from Larry. We will meet on Wednesday, Dec. 1st at 8pm at my (Nancy's) house.If you find yourself wanting more after reading this book, I also recommend Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Same idea, more grown-up. I have a copy of this as well.

It was suggested at the last book club that maybe the first Thursday would be preferable for our discussion. If you have an opinion on this (yes/no/who cares) please share it and we can decide whether to change or stay on Wednesdays.
