August Update

Our July meeting was postponed due to everyone being somewhere else.

August rolled around and many of us were still unable to attend but the few of us who were met at a cozy table for four. Janice, Ann and Anne Marie were the first round of book club participants.

It was agreed that "Far Tortuga" is a very challenging read and yet worth the effort. It requires attention but the time spent in slow reading is rewarded. It deserves its masterpiece status.

We are reading "Four Souls" by Louise Erdrich for September and "The Known World" by Edward P. Jones for October.

After the bill was paid, Greta arrived! Janice and Ann both had other engagements but Anne Marie stayed seated for round two of book club and got to hear about Greta's trip to Ireland. It was a very pleasant way to spend a gray, foggy Saturday morning in San Francisco.
