At the meeting April 15th we will be discussing Things Fall Apart by CHinua Achebe. It is an excellent book and can be understood on several levels. The discussion at UCCC last week was wonderful. If you can get to the discussion at Bard April 11th, I think you will enjoy it.
Don't forget to keep going with Middlemarch. I finished this lovely story last week. It is well worth the time to read it.
I made a list of the books you suggested for next year at the last meeting -- see below. We can add to it or eliminate some and then vote in May.
