January 2012 Archives

The new Ann Bausum book, Marching to the Mountaintop, is now on display. She will visit MUS and speak in chapel on Feb. 17, so read it and learn about a difficult period in Memphis history.

Update: The Read for Fun Book Club will meet on Friday Feb. 3 instead of Jan. 27 to talk about A Game of Thrones. Let me know what kind of pizza you prefer!

The LS Guys Read group met on January 11 to talk about Watchmen and The Hunger Games.  We discussed both books and had a variety of comments on them. For February, we chose a brand new nonfiction book on Memphis and civil rights history by Ann Bausum: Marching to the Mountaintop. The award-winning author will visit us again on February 17. 

We also came up with a fiction book to read: the first book in the Ranger's Apprentice series by John Flanagan, Ranger's Apprentice: The Ruins of Gorlan.  If you've already read any of the books in the series, just pick the next book--the most recent is book number 11: Ranger's Apprentice: The Lost Stories.   Our Novelist database lists all popular fiction series in the correct order in case you ever want to look one up.
