Mount Airy book club

Mt.%20Airy%20Book%20Club%20edited.jpg Members of this book club, which just finished its eighth year, range from retirees to mothers of young children. The group meets monthly at the Mount Airy library. Reading choices are eclectic, ranging from Sense and Sensibility to the Autobiography of Malcom X.

Now reading: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver

Liked a lot: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin, A Christmas Memory by Truman Capote

Not so much: The Corrrections By Jonathan Franzen, Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut

About the bloggers

While she always preferred The Hardy Boys to Nancy Drew, Nancy Knight grew up reading nearly everything she could get her hands on, including a probably unhealthy amount of R.L. Stine and Christopher Pike, with the obligatory Jane Austen thrown in. She'll still read just about anything you put in front of her, especially the funny or weird. She lives in the city with her books, cat and drum set.

Dave Rosenthal came to The Baltimore Sun as a business reporter in 1987 and now is an assistant managing editor and Sunday 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.
