Welcome!

The library is sponsoring an online book discussion group.   We will choose novels or short stories to read and post discussion questions.  This is where you come in.  Read the books and post your comments.  The library will have extra copies of the books being read.

In September, we will discuss three stories from the 20 Under 40  collection of stories from The New Yorker.  This is collection was carefully selected by the New Yorker's fiction editors in 2010.  All of the authors were under forty at that time. All of the stories appeared in the New Yorker Magazine.

The three stories are:

• The Train of Their Departure by David Bezmozgis (begins p.73)
• An Arranged Marriage by Nell Freudenberger (begins p.147)
• What You Do Out Here, When You're Alone by Philipp Meyer (begins p.237)

In the coming days & weeks, some background information about the authors will be posted.  We will talk about The Train of Their Departure first, beginning approximately September 5, and move on from there.
