We have picked “The Legend of Colton H. Bryant” by Alexandra Fuller for our discussion group.  We will be meeting on March 18th at 6pm. If you would like to join our group please call the library and ask us to get a book for you.  Here is a excerpt from a review of the book.

Colton, the unlikely hero at the center of the book, is no John Wayne, no Gary Cooper. Raised in the Upper Green River Valley of Wyoming, he loves hunting and fishing, idolizes his father (also an oil rigger), swigs Mountain Dew by the gallon, marries young, drives a Ford pickup, and works hard to provide for his family. There’s nothing flashy or extraordinary about this Wyoming boy, and his biographer plays it straight nearly every step of the way. Fuller writes with a colloquial style, as if she’s talking her way through a story with readers as rapt listeners.

We are currently reading “Run” by Ann Patchet, here is a short description of the book:

“Since their mother’s death, Tip and Teddy Doyle have been raised by their loving, possessive, and ambitious father. As the former mayor of Boston, Bernard Doyle wants to see his sons in politics, a dream the boys have never shared. But when an argument in a blinding New England snowstorm inadvertently causes an accident that involves a stranger and her child, all Bernard Doyle cares about is his ability to keep his children – all his children – safe.”

We’d love to have you join us.  Call us at 885-3158 and we’ll get a copy of the book for you, or email me.

Thanks, Marilyn
