Book Club: Dear Life by Alice Munro

For May, the book club read Alice Munro's memoir style short-stories, anthologized in Dear Life. While I didn't sit in on the conversation personally, everyone seemed to walk away from it having had a decent conversation --but apparently no one liked it!

Duke A. said, after I asked whether it was a hit-or-miss, "No one really liked it, but Ruth and I liked the style." He also noted that no one was a big fan of the short story genre as a whole. Other members noted that it was hard to get into, even as an audiobook.

Hopefully June's book, Louise Erdrich's The Round House, will resonate better. If you're interested in checking out the book club, they meet the 2nd Wednesday of the month, in the library! You can order the books yourself through the MORE catalog or by calling the library during our regular opening hours. If you're interested in becoming a regular member, ask about being added to our member list, and we'll put the books on hold for you in advance!
