COME JOIN US ~ EVERYONE WELCOME!

The Book Club meets monthly to explore four books from Clifton Fadiman’s Lifetime Reading Plan—a list of 100 books that “fill our minds with what the greatest writers of the Western Tradition of literature in English have thought, felt, and imagined.” The list includes fiction, non-fiction, and poetry.

Though the reading list is rooted in classic literature, our main goal is to have fun while engaging in meaningful, respectful conversations. Meetings are a chance to enjoy great books, share ideas, and connect with other mature adults who love reading.

The Glass Castle – Jeannette Walls – 2006
Annette Walls’s parents Rex and Rose Mary Walls lived like nomads, moving among Southwest desert towns with their four children. When sober, Rex was charismatic and brilliant; Rose Mary was an “excitement addict” who devoted herself to her painting at the expense of her family. When their money ran out or the romance of wandering faded, the Walls family settled in Welch, West Virginia, a dismal mining town; as the family became increasingly dysfunctional Jeannette and her siblings had to fend for themselves and finally leave home. After 20 years of silence about her childhood, author Jeannette Walls looks back and describes her parents with generosity and love.
