October: Pride and Prejudice (note date and time change)



What: Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austin
When: October 29 (last Monday of the Month) @ 8:30 p.m.
Where: Emily McPhie's home
Why: If you haven't read it, you should. If you have read, you sure can read it again. A movie about Jane Austin's life, Becoming Jane, just came out... and it's good. Speaking of movies, Pride and Prejudice makes a good flick. Maybe we should watch it after we discuss.

Testimonial

When I moved here two years ago, I left behind a tight-knit group of ladies that had been meeting to discuss books for ten years! They had been together through marriages, kids, divorces, deaths, teenagers, missionaries, and more marriages. The best part was the list of books they compiled at their tenth anniversary. It was, to say the least, impressive. I have craved that mental stimulation, camaraderie and most of all, an excuse to read! So, let's make a book group!!

I have three reasons behind my motivation. 1. I absolutely love to read really good books. 2. I love getting together with my girlfriends and talking about deep...stuff. 3. I love treats.

If this sounds good to you, come to our first meeting. If you are really into it, let's get you on this blog so you can post your own ideas, or at least leave a comment. If you are sort of into it, come for the treats.
