DMLC Book Club – Keep coming back!
(This page opens in a new window)

The DMLC Book Club is an informal group that meets the third Monday of each month at 6:30 at Books & Company to talk about books. We are not literary scholars, or even avid readers. But we do enjoy listening to or reading books and then sharing our reactions. Sometimes we don't actually like everything about the book that's been chosen, but usually we like the books, and we love the people. Please join us any month you can. No need to sign up ahead of time.  

 The DMLC Book Club sits in the corner at the book store, but we are not quiet.  Moms with children, Dad’s on a night out, singles, grandparents - all show up to discuss the latest book. Most have read the book or at least part of it.  Some have not, but want to listen to the ideas.  Some listen to the book on tape or CD; it’s easier on the eyes and a productive way to use driving time. 

Here are the books we have chosen for the next several months: 

November 16 Loving Frank, by Nancy Horan

How did Mamah Borthwick Cheney and Frank Lloyd Wright come to live in Spring Green, Wisconsin? Why did they defy wide-spread belief and moral standards in the post-Victorian era of the early 20th century?
―Drawing on years of research, Horan weaves little-known facts into a compelling narrative, vividly portraying the conflicts and struggles of a woman forced to choose between the roles of mother, wife, lover, and intellectual. (from the book’s web site)

December 21 On the Divinity of Second Chances, by Kaya McLaren. ( recorded but not at library)

An Idaho family realizes it is in a big mess, but finds a way to start over. Mom, Dad, three teenagers, nutty grandma all are included in this narrative told from the point of view of the youngest daughter. Unconditional love and family ties eventually bring the story to a positive conclusion.

 All are welcome to attend.  
Come regularly or drop in for a chat when you have the chance.

 Call Ginny Scholtz at 567-5538 if you have any questions or if you need a ride.
