Adult Book Discussion
Next meeting: Friday, November 21st at 7:30 p.m. in the library

North Woods
by Daniel Mason
Discussion led by Pat Corrigan
Copies available at the library
A sweeping novel about a single house in the woods of New England, told through the lives of those who inhabit it across the centuries. Following the myriad, magical ways in which we are connected to our environment, to history and to one another, the story follows a group of characters whose lives become intricately intertwined as they face the harsh realities of nature, survival, and personal transformation. Set against the backdrop of towering forests, rugged landscapes, and the haunting isolation of the region, the novel explores themes of solitude, connection, and the pursuit of meaning in a world that is both unforgiving and awe-inspiring. With lyrical prose and a deep sense of atmosphere, North Woods is a poignant exploration of the human spirit, resilience, and the profound impact of the natural world on our lives.
Classic Book Discussion
Next meeting: Friday, November 7th at 11 a.m. in the library

The Magus by John Fowles
Discussion led by: Diana Bristol
Copies available at the library
A genre-bending story about a young Englishman drawn into the psychological games of a wealthy recluse, this classic has been touted as filled with suspense while probing into the nature of moral consciousness and describing a sophisticated account of the depths of the soul. Guaranteed to send shivers down the spine.
