Lost password

It doesn't seem like it has been since November that I posted to this blog, but it has. I have to confess - I couldn't remember the password and kept thinking that it would come to me. Well, after over three months, I finally decided I should just reset it so I could post again.

Over the last three months, the Books for Lunch group have read and discussed some great books. Most recently, they discussed Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer. (I have to say they because I wasn't in attendance. I couldn't get to work due to snow drifts so I missed the discussion that day.) The James Kennedy Public Library also showed the movie Into the Wild for their March Book Flicks (movies based on books) selection. If you are interested in reading, listening or viewing this title, it is available to check out at the library.

The April Books for Lunch selection is Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali . In this memoir, Ali recounts her life story, discussing her traditional Muslim childhood in Somalia, Saudi Arabia, and Kenya, her intellectual awakening and activism in the Netherlands, and her current life under armed guard in the West. Copies of the book are now available to check out at the library. Infidel will be discussed at the April 7 gathering. Everyone is welcome to join us! We meet at 12:00 noon and the discussion (and visiting) usually last about one hour. We'd love to see some new faces and here some new opinions!
