Special Topics in Calamity Physics is the Book of the Month for November


book coverMarisha Pessl's debut novel, Special Topics in Calamity Physics, is the featured read for November. Copies are available at the Upstairs Desk.

An elaborately constructed novel modeled after the syllabus of a college literature course, 36 chapters are named after everything from Othello to Paradise Lost to The Big Sleep that culminates with a final exam. It comes as no surprise, then, that teen narrator Blue Van Meer, the daughter of an itinerant academic, has an impressive vocabulary and a knack for esoteric citation that makes Salinger's Seymour Glass look like a dunce. Following the mysterious death of her butterfly-obsessed mother, Blue and her father, Gareth, embark, in another nod to Nabokov, on a tour of picturesque college towns, never staying anyplace longer than a semester. This doesn't bode well for Blue's social life, but when the Van Meers settle in Stockton, N.C., for the entirety of Blue's senior year, she befriends sort of a group of eccentric geniuses (referred to by their classmates as the Bluebloods) and their ringleader, film studies teacher Hannah Schneider. As Blue becomes enmeshed with Hannah and the Bluebloods, the novel becomes a murder mystery so intricately plotted that, after absorbing the late-chapter revelations, readers will be tempted to start again at the beginning in order to watch the tiny clues fall into place. Like its intriguing main characters, this novel is many things at once it's a campy, knowing take on the themes that made The Secret History and Prep such massive bestsellers, a wry sendup of most of the Western canon and, most importantly, a sincere and uniquely twisted look at love, coming of age and identity. (From Publisher's Weekly)

Fall Story Time


story time image courtesy of clipartheaven.com If you have a free Tuesday or Wednesday morning, stop on by at 10:30 for some fun stories and songs with Miss Carrie-Anne in the Young Readers' Room.

While story time is geared for children ages 3 through kindergarten, littler ones are always welcome to sit quietly with an adult.

We've decided to extend this session of story time until December 17th (with one exception - - we won't have story time the week of November 24th). Then, we'll take a little break for the holidays and start all over again in January.

We've had over 20 children attending each week, so it must be fun! (I know I have the catchy little songs running through my head all week.) Hope to see you soon!
