Thank you Bethany for a wonderful evening in your home. Chocolat by Joanne Harris was a great book and the discussion and desserts were Yummy!
Because of scheduling conflicts our normal book club date needed to be changed this month. I hope this will will work for most of us. Our next book club meeting will be NOVEMBER 29 at 7pm. This is a Tuesday. Diane will be hosting. Her book pick is The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas :
Falsely accused of treason, the young sailor Edmond Dantes is arrested on his wedding day and imprisoned in the island fortress of the Chateau d'If. Having endured years of incarceration, he stages a daring and dramatic escape and sets out to discover the fabulous treasure of Monte Cristo, and to catch up with his enemies. A novel of enormous tension and excitement, The Count of Monte Cristo is also a tale of obsession and revenge. Believing himself to be an 'Angel of Providence', Dantes pursues his vengeance to the bitter end, only then realizing that he himself is a victim of fate.
I realize this book is a long one, but hopefully you have gotten your hands on a copy and have enjoyed reading. The book is very different from the movie but the same themes remain in both. I look forward to our discussion.
SEE YOU ON TUESDAY NOVEMBER 29 at 7pm at my house.
Looking ahead to January, we will be watching the movie THE HELP at Linda Abrams home. This will be on January 3 or 4th depending on if we need to move the day we meet for book club for next year. Telarry Anderson will be hosting in February. Her book pick is Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford.
Diane
