Book Club News

Here's a link to the EPC Reading List of Yore. And here are the favorite books of book club members.

Our club is now registered with Bookworks on Rio Grande by the north valley Flying Star. They will order our upcoming books to have five copies in stock and give us a 10% discount off the cover price. I know it's a trek out there but it's good to support one of Albuquerque's last independent bookstores. They are a dying breed along with newspapers. If transportation is difficult, let me know, I can take orders or we can car pool.

For our new members, meetings are always at 7pm at EPC (509 Cardenas SE).

The Schedule

December 14th, The Translator by Daoud Hari

January 21st, Seize the Day by Saul Bellow

Comment by Megan Donavan on September 3, 2009 at 10:24pm: Awesome book club tonight! It was really good to see our old friend Thomas who added some wonderful insights to the discussion.

Check out the new line up above.

I think by the next meeting we will be back in the library! It is looking better and better thanks to Kippur and crew's efforts.

Comment by Kippur on August 26, 2009 at 9:38am: Please, please watch this video. Besides the feel good factor, it makes me think of all the possibilities. Janet Mancuso from San Diego sent the link. Enjoy. http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=5226127n&tag=contentMain;contentBody

thanks!

Comment by Megan Donavan on July 27, 2009 at 2:39pm: Hello! Is anyone out there planning on coming to bookclub this Thursday?

Comment by Megan Donavan on June 28, 2009 at 11:51pm: Well, last week's bookclub was fun. Thanks everyone for coming. We decided to switch the meetings to the last Thursday of the month at 7pm instead of 6pm.

Comment by Megan Donavan on May 27, 2009 at 11:27am: Hello, I won't be able to make it to book club tomorrow night. I'm hoping that the meeting will go on without me and that we can figure out a better day/time to have meetings as it seems that Thursday nights aren't the best.

Also if you have suggestions for books to read, speak up! We always vote on the books but if the selections are keeping you from coming to the meetings, let us know what you would like to read.

thanks

Comment by Megan Donavan on April 30, 2009 at 5:40pm: Book Club has been canceled for tonight due to lack of participants... all books have been moved up a month. Please consider another meeting day/time... would people have an easier time coming to a meeting if it was on the weekend?

Comment by Megan Donavan on April 28, 2009 at 1:28pm: Is anyone thinking of coming to book club this Thursday? Not sure if I should get food together or not.... we are talking about Obama's book, The Audacity of Hope.
