Do you enjoy talking with others about books you've read? We read and chat about a variety of fiction and non-fiction titles. Nuts About Reading will meet on the third Tuesday of the month.
Tuesday April 19: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
With the 1818 classic book Frankenstein, Mary Shelley succeeded in the task she set for herself: to create a story that, in her own words, "would speak to the mysterious fears of our nature and awaken thrilling horror -- one to make the reader dread to look round, to curdle the blood, and quicken the beatings of the heart."
Tuesday May 17: I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai
When the Taliban took control of the Swat Valley, one girl spoke out. Malala Yousafzai refused to be silenced and fought for her right to an education. On Tuesday October 9, 2012, she almost paid the ultimate price.
Tuesday June 21: Sooley: a novel by John Grisham
After seventeen-year-old Samuel "Sooley" Sooleymon receives a college scholarship to play basketball for North Carolina Central, he moves to Durham from his native, war-torn South Sudan. He has a fierce determination to succeed so he can bring his family to America, working tirelessly on his game until he dominates everyone in practice, and when Sooley is called off the bench, the legend begins.
