Gene's Jazz
Hot
Gene’s Jazz
Hot
Thursday, June 11,
7-9pm
~ second Thursdays ~
A variation on an old booksellers joke: Three guys
held winning tickets to the largest lottery jackpot in
history. A tabloid news program decided to do a piece on it, and
interview the three co-winners. The first guy was a lawyer, and when
asked what he intended to do with his winnings, he replied:
"I think I'll start a practice that caters to the less fortunate, and
take on only clients whose causes I really believe in."
The second guy was a doctor, and when asked the same question, replied:
"I think I'll open a clinic which offers quality medical care to the
less fortunate and homeless, free of charge."
The third guy was a jazz guitarist, and when asked what he would do
with
his new fortune, said:
"I think I'll just keep gigging 'til the money runs out." ** Come
enjoy Gene's Jazz Hot, every second Thursday evening (even if I get the
date wrong). Gene's cookies are pretty good, too. Donations
for the band
gladly accepted.

B684: Boy goes back
100 years & sails with buccaneers
A
boy goes into
a Nantucket (?) bookstore, - no one is there. He goes through the
store
and out the open back door, and steps back 100 years. He is impressed
into service on a buccaneer ship and goes on a journey. He gets
reprimanded by the captain with a whip with a stingray barb on the end,
leaving
a cut on his cheek. He gets back to Nantucket, the bookstore, and
present
times - with a scar still on his cheek. I would like to find this book
for my boy. Any clue?

Reene Alley: McGuffey's
Readers -- The Myth and the Reality
Thursday,
June 18, 7pm
~ third Thursdays ~
Long before Dick and Jane was McGuffey.
McGuffey's Readers marked a generation of young children, and their
worn tan covers
can bring an old-timer back to childhood in a flash. More than
nostalgia
items, however, McGuffey shaped several generations and the entire
field of
American education, with at least 120 million copies sold between 1836
and
1960. Come learn more about the history and impact of these reading
primers. $3

T.C. Boyle: The Tortilla Curtain
Thursday, June 25,
7pm
~ fourth Thursdays ~
Local Author Sarah
Willis is leading this new book club featuring great reads that didn't
necessarily make the bestsellers list. The Tortilla Curtain
is a wonderful read, full of politics and family and mounting tensions,
and creates enough questions to make it a really good discussion book.
Join us as we talk about what makes the book good, why it feels so
real, and how the characters both inspire and infuriate you. Bring
your friends and do something new on a Thursday night!

Claire Tomalin: Jane Austen, A Life
Thursday, June 25,
7pm
~ fourth Thursdays ~
The Austeniana Club
has decided to tackle some biography on Jane. Doesn’t matter which
biography really, any biography on Jane Austen would be fine. We’ll
each
report on our reading, and the various commentaries will enlighten us
all the
more! (Sure, the recent movie "Becoming Jane" works just as well).
