Book Choice for May 2009: It's Not About the Bike by Lance Armstrong

"Champion cyclist Lance Armstrong's Tour de France victory has been hailed as among "the most memorable moments in sports history during this century" (USA Cycling magazine). This is the story of his journey from inauspicious beginnings through triumph, tragedy, transformation, and transcendence. It is the personal story of Lance Armstrong's life so far, from childhood through early success, nearly fatal cancer, recovery, survivorship, more triumph, marriage, and the joy of fatherhood."

Book Choice for April 2009: Little Britches by Ralph Moody

To Kill a Mockingbird -- Our November Book

Allison selected "To Kill a Mockingbird" for our November book, despite many objections that the book sounded depressing. Everyone who read it, though, really liked it!

We had a good discussion about it at Cheryl's house. Thank you to all who came!

Great Book Club at Carrie's House, New Book Selected

We had a great time at Carrie's house last night, discussing her book selection, The Anatomy of Peace. Some of us got *free* therapy and advice about interpersonal relations and being at peace even when others are intentionally 'pushing our buttons.'

Those of us who attended were: Carrie, Jen R., Kellie L., Xenya, Maylynn, and Cheryl A. Amber B. was there most of the time, taking a break from her studies across the street. It would have been even more fun with more people!!!

The treats were delicious, too! Brownies, Mexican dip, potato skins with sour cream, warm cookies right from the oven...

So let's all read this month's book, The Visions of Ransom Lake, so that we are more likely to attend book club Wednesday, October 1 (7:00pm) at Tammy's house (or a resturant of her choosing...)

Michelle Reyes hosted book club in August. Her selection, which she had not read previously, was A Lantern in Her Hand by Aldrich. It turns out she found it a bit depressing.
