We had a lively, interesting discussion of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Those who read it found they were pleasantly surprised by the frightening story as well as Stoker's writing--most of us said we wouldn't have read it had not been a Book Club book.
Next Book Club meeting will be at Marijke's house on Tuesday Nov. 11 at 1:00 pm. Our November book is The Last Chinese Chef by Nicole Mones. As I think you know, I will not be attending that meeting. I have asked Em Tsai, who chose the book, to lead the discussion. Please RSVP to Marijke soon by phone or e-mail.
December meeting will be our poetry/Christmas cookie exchange, which I will be hosting on Wednesday, December 3 at 1:00 pm. If you recall from last year, our December meeting is a delightful and festive occasion: we each bring a favorite poem to read aloud to the group as well as a plate of cookies to share. More details to follow!
Finally, I feel I must ask those of you who have not been coming to our meetings to decide if you have the time to continue with the group. I do have a waiting list of people who would love to join the Book Club. If you know that you will be missing meetings in the future, please consider giving up your spot so someone else can join.
THE SCORE WAS 3.8
