Last round, we enjoyed a series of books surrounding the theme of humankind in the natural world. As usual, we take the summer off and start up in September with a new series, this time books by Black authors. Hope you’ll join us.
September through December we’ll meet 2nd Wednesdays from 6:00-7:00. We met at Cultivate Cafe until we switched to Zoom. We miss meeting in person and will do so as soon as it’s safe. In January we’ll move to 2nd Thursdays.
Register here for the 2020 book discussions on the second Wednesday. https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcrcuqqrDopE9YaRBN-EUCiij2RLMtvLA3Z

Alex Clark for The Guardian: “With the publication of The Autograph Man, Zadie Smith fulfills her early promise and shows another side… The Autograph Man tells us how she (Zadie Smith) feels and what she thinks about a lot of other things, too, among them Jewishness and goyishness, Zen Buddhism, the relationship between Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, being upgraded to business class, living on your own with a cat, the manic internationalism of hotel breakfasts, male bonding and female bravery, Ginger Rogers and Lauren Bacall.”
The Autograph Man is available at the Trumbull County Library, and the YSU Barnes and Noble.
