BOOK DISCUSSION: The Bridge of San Luis Rey by Thornton Wilder
6PM TUESDAY 24 AUGUST 2010
"On Friday noon, July the twentieth, 1714, the finest bridge in all Peru broke and precipitated five travelers into the gulf below." With this celebrated sentence, Thornton Wilder begins The Bridge of San Luis Rey, one of the towering achievements in American fiction and a novel read throughout the world. By chance, a monk witnesses the tragedy. Brother Juniper seeks to prove that it was divine intervention rather than chance that led to the deaths of those who perished in the tragedy. His study leads to his own death -- and to the author`s timeless investigation into the nature of love and the meaning of the human condition.

BOOK DISCUSSION: A Reliable Wife by Robert Goolrick
6PM TUESDAY 26 OCTOBER 2010
Rural Wisconsin, 1907. In the bitter cold, wealthy businessman Ralph Truitt stands alone on a train platform waiting for the woman who has answered his advertisement for "a reliable wife." But when Catherine Land steps off the train from Chicago, she`s not the "simple, honest woman" Ralph is expecting. She is both complex and devious, but her plan is simple: she will win this man`s devotion, then slowly poison him and leave Wisconsin a wealthy widow. What she has not counted on is that Truitt has a plan of his own for his new wife.

BOOK DISCUSSION: Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
6PM TUESDAY 23 NOVEMBER 2010
Like many others, around the time Elizabeth Gilbert turned 30, she went through an early-onslaught midlife crisis. Although she had everything an educated, ambitious American woman was supposed to want, including a husband, a home, and a successful career as a magazine writer, she was consumed with panic, grief, and confusion. This is an account of her yearlong worldwide pursuit of pleasure, spiritual devotion, guidance, and what she really wanted out of life.

BOOK DISCUSSION: The Man in My Basement by Walter Mosley
6PM TUESDAY 28 DECEMBER 2010
Charles Blakey is a young man whose life is slowly crumbling. His parents are dead, he can`t find a job, he drinks too much, and his friends have begun to desert him. Worst of all, he`s fallen behind on the mortgage payments for the beautiful home that`s belonged to his family for generations. When a stranger offers him nearly $50,000 in cash to rent out the basement for the summer, Charles needs the money too badly to say no. The man has a very particular--and very odd--set of requirements. Charles tries to satisfy him without getting drawn into the strangeness, but his summer becomes a journey into inconceivable worlds of power and manipulation, and unimagined realms of humanity.
