The Reading List
by Sara Nisha Adams
Discussion led by Chris Keenan
Copies available at the library

Sara Misha Adams’s The Reading List is a heartwarming novel about a list of recommended novels, left mysteriously in a library book, that come to circulate among the patrons of a small branch library in the West London suburb of Wembley. Aleisha, a bright but anxious teen working at the local library shares the list with Mukesh, a lonely widower who is trying to forge a connection with his bookworm granddaughter. Slowly, the shared books create a connection between two lonely souls, as fiction helps them escape their grief and everyday troubles and find joy again. 

Every month the Sherman Library hosts a book discussion on the third Friday evening. Everyone is welcome to join, lead, or suggest a book to talk about. It’s fun, casual, and informative. Attendees feel comfortable expressing themselves and speaking their minds. The discussions are led by volunteers and the participants change from book to book.

The library orders multiple copies for the book discussion. Join us and become part of a special evening.

The Sea, The Sea by Iris Murdoch

He plans to write a memoir about his great love affair with Clement Makin, his mentor, both professionally and personally, and amuse himself with Lizzie, and actress he has strung along for many years. But his memoir evolves into a riveting chronicle of strange events and unexpected visitors-some real, some spectral-that disrupt his world and shake his oversize ego to its very core.
