Tonight was the second in the series of Let's Talk About It book discussions. The book this time was The French Lieutenant's Woman by John Fowles. The group was a bit smaller than the one which gathered for the Madame Bovary discussion, but they were every bit as lively.
The scheduled speaker had taken ill, so a different person came in her stead. He presented a slide show of information about John Fowles and the novel, including pictures of the places where it is set. He did a great job pointing out the humor of the book, too. And then he gave us a question to discuss in small groups, which really got everybody thinking and talking.
And then we indulged in some delicious cheesecake and cookies. (It can't be entirely intellectual the whole time!) It was an enjoyable evening, all around.
The next book is The End of the Affair by Graham Greene, and it will be discussed on Thursday February 26th at 6:30 at the Library. All are welcome to join.
