 Redford Recreational Readers
 

If you're a reader who would like an opportunity to discuss books with others, join the Redford Recreational Readers, our book discussion group for adults.  We will be meeting the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 7 pm, in one of the 2nd floor meeting rooms.  Each month you'll have an opportunity to meet fellow book lovers, share in group discussion of a selected book and suggest titles for future discussions.

Registration is not required, but the library has limited copies of each book.  If you sign up in advance at the Adult Reference Desk, we'll make every effort to obtain a copy for you from another library.

Our current book discussion titles:   

 

Wednesday, June 12:  The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway

 

The story of a group of Americans and English on a sojourn from Paris to Paloma, evokes in poignant detail, life among the expatriates on Paris's Left Bank, during the 1920s and conveys in brutally realistic descriptions the power and danger of bullfighting in Spain.

 

Discussion Questions

 

Wednesday, July 10:  The School of Essential Ingredients by Erica Bauermeister
