February 17, 2010 Meeting

Tonight we met at Catherine's home to discuss her choice for the month. We read a Mystery, The Private Patient by P.D. Lawrence. This was the second book we have read by this author. Again this month we were a smaller group due to the fact that two of our members Fran and Verna, were still away spending their winter in the south. However they both sent along an e-mail with their comments on the book. It's not as good as having them with us to participate in the discussion of course, but it does enable them to be at least a part of the meeting. Hats off to technology!
The discussion itself was fairly low key. Most agreed that it was an entertaining read but not a story that would elicit much discussion. The general conclusion was that perhaps we should avoid choosing the same author in any category for our monthly selection.
We will be taking the month of March off as even more of our members will be heading south. Hope they have packed lots of good books! We will meet again in April to discuss Pat's choice in the Classic category, Nathanial Hawthorne's "The Scarlett Letter". Until Then........
