August Evening (Chorus)

Redstart 

Thank you to Saara for the gracious hospitality last evening. What a view of Toronto!  What a sunset!
And thank you for starting off our book discussion with an unforgettable bird anecdote.

We set up some future dates and book topics:

• September 17th at Wanda's - Ellen in Pieces by Caroline Adderson
• October 15th at Jane's - The Children Act by Ian (FU) McEwen
• November 26th at Jan's - The Back of the Turtle by Thomas King
• ***Please note that there has been a change of location in October and November.*** 

Also mentioned last evening were:

• The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins
• Adult Onset by Ann-Marie Macdonald
• 10:04 by Ben Lerner  
• Lila by Marilynne Robinson
• The Betrayers by David Bezmozgis
• Mr Mac and Me by Esther Freud
• Black Rock by John Fetridge

I forgot to mention an noteworthy book that I read recently: Family Life by Akhil Sharma.  It's at once heart-breaking and comic.

If like me you missed the two sources of colourful gossip in print here they are again:

• The Journey to Rebuild a Life: Camilla Gibb's Memoir
• Jian Ghomeshi: His Life of an Outcast

And here's a trailer for the recommended movie Best of Enemies.
