TueSdAY, July 14
WELCOME TO THE JOY OF READING AND DISCUSSING BOOKS
Zoom will meet on Tuesday, July 14, at 4:00 p.m. (Sue Fox will send out a link and a reminder the day before), and the in-person, potluck-dinner meeting will begin at 6:30 pm, at Beckie Holstrom’s welcoming home in San Ramon.
Summer is in full swing—and it’s a great time to celebrate with the wonders of a good book. Do join us, if you can, for great food, warm fellowship, and our always interesting discussion. Be sure to let Beckie know as soon as
possible that you will be attending and what tasty summer appetizer, main dish, side or dessert you will be bringing.
For the July 14 meeting, please read The Art Thief: A True Story of Love, Crime and a Dangerous obsession. What an amazing story of a man who managed to steal 239 pieces of art throughout a six-year crime spree! How did he manage to accomplish this unlikely feat (some 173 museums throughout Europe were ultimately involved)? And, just as importantly, WHY did he do it? Read the riveting story of Stéphane Breitweiser, and perhaps you can find out!
If you wish to get ahead a bit, read Wild Dark Shore, by Charlotte McConaghy, which we will discuss in August.
”A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party, a company by the way, a counselor, a multitude of counselors.” – Charles Baudelaire
