Abingdon Lite at Night book club

Lite%20at%20Night3%20edited.jpgThe club, which meets at the Abingdon branch of the Harford County library, is geared to time-starved working women and mothers of young children. "We try to read books with something worth discussing, but with humor in them," says librarian and moderator Julia Mepham. Humor is a dicey theme: some members might find a book hysterical while others don't get it. But divergent views can spark lively discussions. 

Now reading: Still Life with Elephant by Judy Reene Singer

Liked a lot: Marley & Me by John Grogan and Family Tree by Barbara Delinsky  

Not so much: The Girls’ Guide to Hunting and Fishing by Melissa Bank

Information: Call Mepham at 410.638.3990 or visit the library Web site

About the blogger
Dave Rosenthal came to The Baltimore Sun as a business reporter in 1987 and now is the Maryland Editor. He reads a wide range of books (but never as many as he'd like), usually alternating between non-fiction and fiction. Some all-time favorites: A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole; Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery; and anything by Calvin Trillin or John McPhee. He belongs to a book club with a Jewish theme.
