![]() ![]() Several members have been reading biographies of the presidential candidates, so we began with summaries of those: Elizabeth Warren’s “ This Fight is Our Fight,” Kamala Harris’ “ The Truths We Hold: An American Journey” and others. We serve cookies, fruit and sparkling beverages. Discussions are lively we have some very impassioned members, as well as some who just like to come, sit quietly and digest new ideas.ĭN: What are some of the most memorable meetings the club has had?ĮH: Last week we had a fantastic meeting - very informative and enlightening. Our group ranges from 10 to 20 participants each week. We found the prose stale and mawkish, with caricature-ish descriptions of emotion and a parodic nature to the plot.ĮH: We meet once per month, on Saturday afternoon from 3 p.m. I would recommend letting the group be your guide when it comes to getting started.ĭN: Is there a book that everyone has disliked, or one that people thought they wouldn’t like but was surprising?ĮH: The group was not enamored with Meg Wolitzer’s “The Female Persuasion.” We were excited for a book that discussed intergenerational feminism (our club members range in age from 22 to 82) but this did not satisfy. I bring in three titles of a specific genre each session (for instance three works of historical fiction by an African writer), discuss them briefly, then the group votes on which book they’d like to read next. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.ĭeseret News: What kinds of books does your book club read?Įlizabeth Hanby: We read fiction and nonfiction, contemporary works and classics. ![]()
