And the next book is...



Great review of Under a Cruel Star. The discussion was truley inspiring and I personally am very glad to have read about such a courageous person.

Our next book will be October Sky by Homer Hickam.
Rocket Boys (also known as October Sky) is the first memoir in a series of three, by Homer Hickam, Jr. It is a story of growing up in a mining town, and a boy's pursuit of amateur rocketry in a coal mining town. It won the W.D. Weatherford Award in 1998, the year of its release. Today, it is one of the most often picked community/library reads in the United States. It is also studied in many school systems around the world.

The next book club meeting will be Sunday March 6th at 6pm

Don't forget....

...about the meeting this Sunday, February 6th, to discuss Under a Cruel Star by Heda Kovaly.  I was just trying to research some discussion questions for the book, but I wasn't really able to find anything.  If you happen to come across something, please let me or Kyle know and we'll post it.  I really don't think we'll be needing any stimulation for discussion though, considering this book is pretty heavy on discussion topics.  I'm sure we'll have plenty to talk about.

Once again, we're going to do a pot luck, so bring whatever you feel like bringing.  Don't everyone just do dessert though, that's just silly.  Also, make sure you've been thinking of a book to suggest for this next month.  We're going to do the same drawing/voting system as we did last time, I believe.

So yeah, this Sunday, @Kyle's, 6pm.  Be there!  With food.  And suggestions.
