Nothin' like a good card game for the new year. 'Cept we do little
tiles with numbers, a nice tactile and colorful set of modern dominoes
and a game called Mexican Train. Join us: it's easy, fun, and helps
keep the winter doldrums at bay.
Bloomsday Book Club
Thursday, January 25, 6pm
It's time! Join us for a book club devoted to the last novel
written by James Joyce, the legendary Finnegans Wake.
Yes, we know you're a bit daunted by a book best read next to an
unabridged dictionary, but we also know you've always wanted to read
one of the most renowned and respected works in the English language.
We'll tackle it slowly, some ten pages at a time, and discuss it at
length at monthly meetings. This first meeting will introduce the
book, its place in literary history, and the tools needed for
understanding it. Yes, we'll have books, both Joyce's and reading
guides, as well as a list of helpful interactive websites. Want to
know more? Join us.

the Bookseller Selection of the month
V51: Valerie Anne and
Alligator Eugene
I remember a series of books from the 1960s that involved a French
girl named Valerie anne who travels somewhere and possibly is
shipwrecked, or somehow winds up in New York. She has a friend named
Eugene who is an alligator. The books were almost like board books but
not quite. Perhaps there was 5 or 6 books in a series. They were
brightly colored.
