August 15 - 'The Last Bookaneer'

Six of gathered on a sultry summer afternoon for our discussion of The Last Bookaneer by Matthew Pearl. Becky hosted us by the pool, where we cooled off, both in the water and by drinking "water." Even though almost nobody finished the book, everyone seemed favorably disposed toward it. And we had such a lovely time munching on "Popsicles" and cucumber soup (thanks Michelle!), pita and dips, fruit, popcorn... The picnic table was very full, I'm sure I'm forgetting wonderful things, but you get the idea. Happily the rain held off til we cleared out from poolside.
