Thursday Evening Book Discussion Group
This book discussion group began in 1996 as the "Books of the Century" book discussion group, choosing books from the New York Public Library's Books of the Century exhibit and book. Beginning in the Fall of 2000, the group expanded its choices. Participants are expected to read at least part of the selected works. The library will help locate copies of the books. There is no fee, but please register to reserve your space.
Book discussions occur from 7-8:30 pm on the first Thursday of every month, October through May (please note the slightly different time!). Call 215-723-9109 x1 for more information.

This is a reworking of his earlier Watson trilogy. “Matthiessen revisits his three novels about the career of Watson ("Killing Mister Watson," "Lost Man's River" and "Bone by Bone") and fits them together so that they unfold, layer by layer, mystery by mystery, episode by episode, gathering, gathering, nodding back and forth, in a tangle not unlike the living imbroglio in which the tale is set, the impenetrable jungle wetland of the Florida lowlands.” [LA Times book review ) (Fiction)
November 4: Death with Interruptions by Jose Saramago (2008).
Death takes a holiday: “The absence of death, at first good news, now threatens to be every bit as big a social catastrophe...”. [NYT book review] The latest from the Nobel Prize winner. Saramago won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1998. (Fiction)
December 2: Collapse: How societies choose to fail or succeed, by Jared Diamond (2005).
A blend of anthropology, history, and environmental science; examines ancient and modern societies and the components that caused or prevented their collapse. (Non-Fiction: 304.28 Diamond)
January 6, 2011: Then we came to the end, by Joshua Ferris (2007).
Ferris’s first novel takes place in a Chicago advertising agency that is experiencing a downturn at the
