December 21 - Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery

The club's goal is to foster dialog and better understanding between people with different political viewpoints and to provide a space for civil discourse on controversial or divisive topics. There are several moderators whose viewpoints span the political spectrum: left, right and neutral. The book selections are also chosen to represent issues and viewpoints across the political spectrum.  The aim of each discussion is to promote understanding ... “Ah, now I understand how they can think that!” ... rather than convince anyone of a particular point of view.

Literary Pursuits: Classics In-Store Book Club meets the 3rd Sunday of the month at 4:30 pm at our store to discuss a literary classic, the author, and the book's importance. Listed below are some upcoming selections to give you an idea of material the club covers.  New members are always welcome. 

December 15:  Favorite Poems
 

Join us at Quail Ridge Books for a discussion of Tolkien's study of Finn and Hengest. This work is connected to Beowulf so you might want to look that over as well; if you missed our earlier discussion of Beowulf this would be a great time to review it with us! We'll meet outside Quail Ridge Books and pick somewhere to eat while we talk.

Note: This book is out of print in the US, but the UK edition is still available. We will not have many copies in stock, so if you would like a copy, please place an order so that we can order the correct number.
