Manderino Library Book Club--May Selection

"My farm dream had its roots in Green Acres. Which was never even my favorite show. But to grow up in the suburbs of the 1960s is to have TV, glorious TV, as your reference point. And I had always been one to side with Eddie Albert. 'Farm livin' is the place for me.' And I knew every single world of that song--'Darling, I love you, but give me Park Avenue'--and suddenly, after decades of not singing that song at all, I couldn't get it our of my head. Ba-da-de-dum-dum. Dum dum." Jeanne Marie Laskas, Fifty Acres and a Poodle, p. 2.

The next meeting of the Manderino Library Book Club will be on Tuesday, May 17, 2005, at 7:00 p.m. We will merge the afternoon and evening groups and meet at the home of Beth Baxter. Beth's address is 418 5th Street, California, PA. Beth and I ask that everyone bring hors d'oeuvres for 15 people. It will be an evening wherein we will munch on hors d'oeuvres, discuss Fifty Acres and a Poodle, and develop a reading list for 2005/2006. Coffee, tea, water, and perhaps some wine, will be provided.

If you need to have directions to Beth's home, please call Beth at 724.938.1675 (W) or 724.938.7204 (H). Beth's home is just a few blocks from the library. If you want to carpool let me know. I will be glad to pick up people in front of the library. My office number is 724.938.4048, and my e-mail address is nolf@cup.edu.

Titles of upcoming book club suggestions are trickling into my e-mail account. Please come to the meeting with your suggestions. In fact, I have already picked the September book--Bill Bryson's A Short History of Nearly Everything. Dr. Gregg Gould, a Cal U chemistry professor, has agreed to lead the discussion.
