Lower School Book Club 2010

The LS book club met on January 22 and after starting our lunches, got bumped out of the Loeb Room. (I had reserved the room, told Mr. Batey's group we were scheduled to use it, and then I had told our group that when you reserve places, you get to keep them--but those were my 'famous last words'! because then a VIP visitor needed to have lunch with some students and administrators, and we all had to leave!)  Not to be discouraged, a couple of you said "Let's just reschedule for Monday," so we did that.  I decided we would meet upstairs in the library conference room--I ordered pizza and bought Sun Chips and drinks, and we ended up having a great crowd and a fine discussion of the book Hunger Games and also of the various movie versions of some of our selections coming out.  William and I also talked about The Color of Magic, which is now one of my all-time favorite books.  We picked a new book that will probably soon be a major motion picture:  Gone by Michael Grant.  I have to say, I've already read it and it was a page-turner.  We have two copies in the library, and it's a great book for a snow day or a long weekend, so come and check it out!  Our next meeting will be on February 26.  Let me know if you want to go back to the Loeb Room, or just go for the sure thing and meet upstairs in the library.
