We had a wonderful evening together, as usual, at Margaret’s home this month. Agatha Christie’s THE MURDER OF ROGER ACHROYD was an interesting book to talk about. Some of us enjoyed the story and solving the crime was secondary to that enjoyment. Others found the misdirection and lack of clues frustrating. Either way, it was a great discussion and a good book. Thanks Margaret.
Welcome to another new friend: Heather Demars. We are so glad to have you join us.
Michelle Holdaway is hosting our next meeting on Tuesday December 7th. Her pick is:
Paulo Coelho's enchanting novel has inspired a devoted following around the world. This story, dazzling in its simplicity and wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of treasure buried in the Pyramids. Along the way he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself king, and an Alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest. No one knows what the treasure is, or if Santiago will be able to surmount the obstacles along the way But what starts out as a journey to find worldly goods turns into a meditation on the treasures found within. Lush, evocative, and deeply humane, the story of Santiago is art eternal testament to the transforming power of our dreams and the importance of listening to our hearts.
Enjoy reading and see you again in December
