Nonfiction book club
For the December book, the “Just the Facts” Nonfiction Book Discussion Group, will read "The Happiness Project: Or, Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun" by Gretchen Rubin.
Rubin had an epiphany one rainy afternoon while riding on a city bus: “Time is passing, and I’m not focusing enough on the things that really matter.” In that moment, she decided to dedicate a year finding happiness. Each month she tackled a new set of resolutions: give proofs of love, forget about the results, keep a gratitude notebook. She also read the principles of happiness by many thinkers and writers. The discussion will be Thursday, Dec. 17 at 6:30 p.m. Copies are available at the desk.
Fiction book club
The Café Parlez fiction book club's selection for December is "Enchantments"
by Kathryn Harrison. After Rasputin is killed, his daughter Masha is sent to live with the Romanov family, hoping that she has inherited her father’s miraculous healing powers. She and Prince Aloysha strike up a friendship, and as the tsar is forced to abdicate and the family is placed under house arrest, the two teenagers tell each other stories, some embellished and some entirely imagined. This is a love story about two people who come together as everything around them is falling apart. The book will be discussed on Monday, Dec. 28 at 6:30 p.m. Books are available at the desk.
