    Book club?

    Anyone know of a local book club in PM (other than the library)?  Or is anyone interested in starting one?  Thanks!

    The Plaza Midwood Book Club is a fun, friendly book club that has been meeting at members homes here in the neighborhood since March of 2001! Each month, one member chooses a book for everyone to read and hosts the group either in their home or makes arrangements for us to meet somewhere else (another member's home, local coffee shop, etc.). Each meeting consists of social time as well as book discussion, so we get the best of both worlds - fun and fellowship with our neighbors as well as a lively discussion of some great books. Because our members have varied interests, we have read a great assortment of books over the past seven years, from classics like The Great Gatsby and Jane Eyre to new favorites like Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and The Kite Runner to some lesser known and local authors like Judy Goldman and Tim McLaurin. We usually meet at 7:15PM on the fourth Thursday of each month.  Our next meeting is Thursday, July 17 where we will be discussing "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" by Barbara Kingsolver. Please feel free to join us (even if you haven't read the book!). If you are interested, or would like more information, please contact us at plazamidwoodbc@hotmail.com or contact our coordinator, Krista Murphy Woitkiewicz directly at kristamark@juno.com

     I'd like to add, if I may, that the owners of Park Road Books, i.e. me and my wife Sally Brewster, are not P-M book club members, but we are residents of Plaza Midwood.  We offer 20% off book club books to clubs that are registered with us (which the Plaza Midwood Bookclub is), and we deliver to Plaza Midwood.  If you have questions, please give me or Sally a call at 704.525.9239, or email me at frazerdobson@parkroadbooks.com.  And "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" is wonderful!

    Re: Book club?

    For those wanting to jump in a preexisting book discussion, we're meeting at the PM library every first and third Tues. (including tomorrow, July 15) at 7:00 p.m. to discuss Tim Keller's book The Reason for God.

    Check it out and contribute to the discussion!
