Little Walnut Creek Book Club
from Susie Milam
A Short History of the Club
At the founding meeting of the group in the summer of 2004, some ground rules were established:
First, we would meet only every five or six weeks and read only books that are under 400 pages. This would allow time for other reading without having to feel that the book club was dominating our lives.
Second, we would select titles that are owned in sufficient quantity by the library system so that we would not have to buy the books.
Last, we agreed to read selections that would introduce us to cultures or geographical areas that are unfamiliar to us. We have read a mixture of fiction and non-fiction, and our selections have been set in India, China, Australia, France, Botswana, New York, Puerto Rico, the Arizona/Mexico border, Alabama, South Africa, Antarctica, Afghanistan, Utah, Rwanda, and Haiti, just to name a few. Something of a world tour!
