Vamos a discutir "El portero," escrito por Reinaldo Arenas.  La biblioteca Sequoya tiene más de diez copias del libro que pueden prestar. Si prestan de la biblioteca, pidan el libro en la estación de servicio e información.  Al prestar el libro, aseguren contar al bibliotecario que el libro es para el "book club"; así que se puede prestar el libro hasta el fin de año.

El libro consiste en 40 capítulos cortos y tomando en cuenta que nuestro grupo se reúne dos veces cada mes (el primer jueves y el tercer jueves), discutiremos alrededor de 30 páginas cada sesión.

21 de noviembre -- Capítulo 38 al fin del libro y repasaremos el libro entero

Join us for a discussion of this month's book: Wandering Stars by Tommy Orange. New members always welcome! Copies may be available at the Ask Desk.

Synopsis: Wondrous and shattering, this follow-up to the breakout novel There There traces a legacy from the Sand Creek Massacre of 1864 and the Carlisle Indian Industrial School to 2018, where a Native family is adrift in the aftermath of a shooting.

Join us for a mystery book group discussion of "The Bangalore Detectives Club" by Harini Nagendra. Books are available at the library. New members always welcome!

"When clever, headstrong Kaveri moves to Bangalore to marry handsome young doctor Ramu, she's resigned herself to a quiet life.

But that all changes the night of the party at the Century Club, where she escapes to the garden for some peace and quiet—and instead spots an uninvited guest in the shadows. Half an hour later, the party turns into a murder scene.

When a vulnerable woman is connected to the crime, Kaveri becomes determined to save her and launches a private investigation to find the killer, tracing his steps from an illustrious brothel to an Englishman's mansion. She soon finds that sleuthing in a sari isn't as hard as it seems when you have a talent for mathematics, a head for logic, and a doctor for a husband . . .

And she's going to need them all as the case leads her deeper into a hotbed of danger, sedition, and intrigue in Bangalore's darkest alleyways." -- Amazon.com
