Book Discussions

How can this be? And why is the cold weather hanging in here so long! I've been wanting to tell everyone about the wonderful books I am reading right now. They are memoirs written by modern American women writers. They are outstanding. Every chapter I've read has been a treasure in itself. I'm reading the series called Ordinary Lives, which is the Humanities Council series for the Wright Branch Library book discussion which will be held in March and April. I don't know when I've enjoyed a series so much. The writing is beautiful, and the memoirs vary from Ann Dillard 1950s urban area to Pat Mora memories of five generations of her family who have all lived in her home. Mary Clearman Blew is somewhere in between, but her Montana ranch family stories are so familiar to me as a Wyomingite that I feel like I know her relatives. I've read the Madelieine L'Engle memoir before, but I'm anxious to read it again for the comparison to these other outstanding writers.

Gillette book discussion series is Writing Wyoming with books by Wyoming authors. WOW, a whole series by Wyoming writers. And Jeanette Lukowski from Gillette College will be the discussion leader. I'm looking forward to sharing those sessions too.

The book discussion offers readers an opportunity to share their opinions about books, to explore new writers and writing styles, to love or hate a book and still have the pleasure of discussion with other readers. If you want to get excited about reading again, join us in Wright or Gillette for a book discussion this March. Books will be available at your libraries, and schedules and times are available there too.
