In May the teen group discussed "I Robot" by Issac Asimov. It was nothing like the movie with Will Smith. Stephen says that the movie actually is based on the book "Caves of Steel," which is also by Asimov. We didn't meet in June because Stephen had to finish "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain for the last unit of his American Literature book. This Thursday, July 20th, we will meet to discuss "A Midsummer's Night Dream" by Shakespeare. It should be Stephen, Christopher, Jonathan, Jeremy, and Jessica. (Jessica is here for the next 3 weeks.) That night the library Great Books group is discussing the same play. I told Stephen I would like him to go with me to that meeting too.
I have also read "Garlic and Saphires." (Can't remembr the author's name.) It was pretty good. I gave it to Katherine to read on the plane on her trip back to California. I read "The Devil Wears Prada" by Lauren Weisberger. I read half of "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West" by Gregory Maguire. I am having trouble finishing that one. And I am reading "Vanishing Acts" by Jodi Picoult. That is very good. It is the first book I have read by that author. I recommended another of her books, "My Sister's Keeper," to the Library Popular Fiction Book Group, but that won't be for a few months.
