ZLAC Book Club — June 27, 2024
For Members and their Guests
Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage
by Alice Munro
This meeting will be in-person at ZLAC. You may bring your own dinner or snack. BYOB.
NEW! The book club will now include a rating system.
We think it might be fun to see what our ZLAC community thinks of a book! The system is from 1 to 5, with 2.5 being that you would recommend the book with some hesitation. Anything between 2.5 to 5 is how much you liked it. And anything below 2.5 is how much you hated it.
Don't be shy, all views and opinions are welcome! We will collect the scores and average them, then post the ZLAC score in the following month's Eight Oars newsletter.
Can't make the in-person meeting? No problem! Email your score to: carolynw.ca@gmail.com AND valeriekayelewis@gmail.com, and you will be included in the scoring.
Canadian author Alice Munro won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 2013, with good reason: she is widely considered a master and innovator of the short story. Munro passed away in May, and we honor her by reading and discussing this book of short stories, published in 2001.
You do not need to have read the book to attend!
