We meet in the Sitting Room 2-4 on the third Wednesday of every month skipping December. Some attendees come just to listen when they have lacked time to read the book. Here are the next books scheduled:

Wed, July 21, 2-4: Louise Erdrich, any book. Erdrich is the author of twelve novels as well as volumes of poetry, children's books, and a memoir of early motherhood. Her debut novel, Love Medicine, won the National Book Critics Circle Award. The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse was a finalist for the National Book Award. With some Indian ancestry, and parents who taught at Bureau of Indian Affairs schools, her works often address the theme of Native American life. She also runs a small independent bookstore in Minnesota. Her books are widely available, and three novels are available as Audio Downloads from the Sonoma County Library system.

Wed, August 16, 2-4: Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Infidel. Born in Somalia, and raised Muslim, Ali escaped a forced marriage by fleeing to the Netherlands. Eventually she became a member of the Dutch parliament, and has received numerous human rights awards for her work on behalf of women. Though disowned by her family, she refuses to remain silent concerning the neglected rights of Muslim women.
