PFL Book Group In-Person
The Patten Free Library Book Group meets on the last Wednesday (unless noted) of each month at 3 pm in the Board Room. We match a pair of books, one a work of fiction, the other of nonfiction, on a topical and timely theme. New members are always welcome!
September 24: Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens; Paired Fiction: Fagin the Thief by Allison Epstein – A paired reading of alternative viewpoints on the same classic.
October 29: Fiction: O’Caledonia by Elspeth Barker and Paired Fiction: We Have Always Lived in a Castle by Shirley Jackson. Two delightfully creepy books for this haunted month.
November 26: Fiction: Twist by Colum McCann; Nonfiction: Africa is Not a Country by Faloyin Depo. Theme: Cultural imperialism in Africa.
December 30 (note:Tuesday): Was the Cat in the Hat Black? Fiction: Your favorite Childhood Book – we’ll explore race, racism and the culture of nostalgic childhood.
