Finish up the holidays with Jared Diamond's Pulitzer–winning Guns, Germs and Steel: the fates of human societies. Copies of this exploration of the possible reason why Europe succeeded while other parts of the world lagged behind are available now on the Book Group Shelf in the Reference Room. In case you're interested, here is a list of titles discussed by this group and the Stranger than Fiction Book Group over the past eight years.
Read the book and then watch the movie. Robert Goldstone will lead a discussion after showing Random Harvest starring Ronald Colman and Greer Garson. Based on the book by James Hilton, the movie is the story of a shell–shocked World War I soldier who has amnesia and his wife who is trying to help him remember even though the doctors tell her not to. Copies of the book will be available on the Book Group Shelf in the Reference Room three weeks before the meeting.
Led by Librarian Liam Hegarty, the group will discuss Things Fall Apart, by Chinua Achebe. Copies of the book will be available on the Book Group Shelf in the Reference Room three weeks before the meeting.
Come celebrate the beginning of the Chinese New Year, the year of the dragon. The presentation will focus on Chinese history, its classic stories, its rich traditions and its art forms.
Readings from the book by the author, Lucia Greenhouse. Refreshments will be served beginning at 3:30pm. This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Larchmont Public Library.
Robert Goldstone continues his series with a screening of Bogart's classic The Maltese Falcon and a discussion of Dashiell Hammett's book of the same name. Copies of the book will be available on the Book Group Shelf in the Reference Room three weeks before the meeting.
