OK here's a fun one for all you American history buffs who like to read on
this site. I am starting an adult book club in January at our museum based on
American history. My first job is to select the books we will read for the first
several months. I am looking for a well rounded group with each individual
book being able to be read within a month and have enough substance to fill a
two hour discussion. These can be historical fiction or nonfiction. Another idea
is two short books that can be compared and contrasted (I'm already thinking
of Twelve Years a Slave and Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl). These
books would have to be in print and for cost purposes preferably available in
paperback. I'm thinking of starting with In the Heart of the Sea any other ideas?
Also has anyone done this before and how did it go? Any advise? Anyone in the
Chicago area that's interested in joining me contact me off list. Talk to you
all soon Annmarie. Interpretive Specialist Isle a la Cache Museum Romeoville
