Parish Reading and Discussion Circle ~ Winter 2010
Updated January 28, 2010
The Parish Reading and Discussion Circle - "Book Club" - is preparing for a Winter Session. We are going to work three meetings in before the beginning of Great Lent. We will be reading three short works of the brilliant Southern writer, Flannery O'Connor (+1964). Her works are informed by a deep Christian sensibility (she was Roman Catholic) that is presented in a very striking and uncompromising manner. Yet, there is nothing didactic in her literature. The stories are intense and quite unforgettable once read. Our schedule is as follows:
- Wed, Jan 20, 7:30 p.m. - "The Displaced Person"
- Wed, Feb 3, 7:30 p.m. - "A Good Man is Hard to Find"
- Wed, Feb 10, 7:30 p.m. - "Revelation"
Her Collected Works are available for about $12.00 at amazon.com. The same book is about $18.00 at the bookstore.
Good literature has a positive effect on the soul. Please join us!
