March Book Club

For those of you who like to plan ahead or read ahead, here is the info for March's Book Club... On March 30th, 7:00pm we will be reading and discussing:

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

Synopsis:
It's just a small story really, about among other things: a girl, some words, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter, and quite a lot of thievery...

Set during World War II in Germany, Markus Zusak's groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can't resist--books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement before he is marched to Dachau.

This is an unforgettable story about the ability of books to feed the soul.

Again, these books can be checked out at the library, bought at a discount online: http://www.half.com/, borrowed from neighbors/friends, etc. Happy reading!!
