CLASSICAL BOOK CLUB SELECTIONS FOR JAN, FEB, MAR, APR.

January (Julie Olsen)

-The Space Trilogy by C. S. Lewis

(You may choose to read either the entire trilogy or only the middle book, called Perelandra. First is Out of the Silent Planet, third is That Hideous Strength. Perelandra is just fine as a stand alone, but they are all fairly short books--you choose. This will be different from our usual fare. I think you will be surprised if all you've previously read of Lewis is some essays and Narnia. I've actually found these at DI, our library has one copy, I'm sure they're not costly.)



February (Melissa Thomas)

-And There Was Light: Autobiography of Jaques Lusseyran, Blind Hero of the French Resistance. This is an incredible book about a young blind man who led a large part of the underground resistance in Paris during Nazi occupation. It is somwhat costly, around $12 from Amazon. Library has one, I have one. Very worth owning.



March (Randi Jorgenson)

-Miss Spitfire: Reaching Helen Keller by Sarah Miller (Don't know how easily available this one is at this moment, but it's a short one. We may have to pass some copies around.)



April (Krislyn Elliott

Bleak House by Charles Dickens
