Read what our patrons have to say about these titles:
Our afternoon book discussion group, Light 'n Lively, is reading The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho for August. "This story, dazzling in its powerful simplicity and inspiring wisdom, is about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who travels from his homeland in Spain to the Egyptian desert in search of a treasure buried in the Pyramids. Along the way he meets a Gypsy woman, a man who calls himself king, and an alchemist, all of whom point Santiago in the direction of his quest. No one knows what the treasure is, or if Santiago will be able to surmount the obstacles along the way. But what starts out as a journey to find worldly goods turns into a discovery of the treasures found within. Lush, evocative, and deeply humane, the story of Santiago is an eternal testament to the transforming power of our dreams and the importance of listening to our hearts. " (Amazon.com)
Copies of this book are available at the Circulation Desk. Pick up a copy and start reading! The group meets Thursday, August 24th at 1:00 p.m. Bring yourself and a friend!
For September: Cry of the Kalahari by Mark and Cordelia Owens
