BOOK SELECTION:
THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES by Ray Bradbury
Of Ray Bradbury’s prolific writing career with unforgettable novels like Fahrenheit 451 and Something Wicked This Way Comes, plus many short stories, screen plays and more, no work shines more luminous than these masterful chronicles of Earth’s settlement of the fourth world from the sun.
This book is a classic work of 20th Century literature whose extraordinary power and imagination remains undimmed by time’s passage. In connected, chronological stories, a true grandmaster once again enthralls, delights and challenges us with his vision and his heart—starkly and stunningly exposing in brilliant spacelight our strength, our weakness, our folly, and our poignant humanity on a strange and breathtaking world where humanity does not belong.
If you've read the book, we welcome you to come and discuss with us. We discuss the book for about one hour.
FORMAT: Each person gives a SHORT overview of what they thought of the book - like, didn't like, etc.
Then discussion leader guides through more specific questions or topics. [You can often find specific book club questions online. There are also "generic" book club questions available. But the more you customize, the better the discussion. ]
We do our best to give everyone an equal chance to share their thoughts about the book.
Occasionally and depending on attendees' schedules and preferences, we sometimes go to Mike's Restaurant just down the road which does not take credit cards, or to another restaurant.
