Coffee & Conversation: Books That Touched Our Lives
Calling all book lovers for a conversation about books we fondly remember. “Great” literature (The Bible, Don Quixote, Hamlet) aside, what books changed your perspective, gave you unexpected insights, delivered an “aha” moment, or just spoke volumes? Join Dr. Margery Marcus for a conversation about those special books that touched YOU. Dr. Marcus will discuss her choices which include the Romantic potboiler Mistress of Mellyn by Victoria Holt, The Women’s Room by Marilyn French, Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, and John Irving’s A Prayer for Owen Meany. Bring the names of your favorite titles to share with the audience and leave with a list of books to add to your bookshelf.
