The Break

Hoping to enjoy the backyard as the season was winding down, we all came prepared with our warm woolies.  But sanity prevailed - it was just too cold for outside book club.  Jo welcomed us warmly and it turned out to be a wonderful evening, inside. Thank you Jo.

The Break generated considerable conversation.  I believe this is the video that Jo recommended where Jian Ghomeshi interviewed Katherena Vermette:

Don't forget that the next book is The Grapes of Wrath by Steinbeck.  (If you choose to swerve the novel, the classic film is playing on Netflix). This gathering will be on Thursday, November 2nd at my house.

The following book club will meet at Lynda's and the book will be The End of Eddy by Édouard Louis.  It will be on Wednesday, December 13th.

 Books We Mentioned: 

• Lila by Marilynne Robinson  
• Born to Run (Autobiography) by Bruce Springsteen
• The Promise of Canada by Charlotte Gray
• The Mighty Dead: Why Homer Matters by Adam Nicolson
• The Death of Expertise by Tom Nichols

A worthy podcast is The Sunday Edition on CBC with Michael Enright.
