Arroyo Book Club May Pick….


With our current inability to access physical library books the Arroyo Book Club picked a book out of Project Gutenberg to read for our May discussion.  This month we wanted to read non-fiction. The book that we picked was Life on the Mississippi by Mark Twain.

This book is an account of Twain's experiences as an apprentice riverboat pilot in the days of the great Mississippi steamboats.

You will find a downloadable copy of the book here: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/245, courtesy of Project Gutenberg.

The plan is for everyone to download a copy and spend the first couple of weeks of May reading. I will begin posting questions to discuss on the group’s web space on May 14 and will add a new question each day until May 23 (our regular meeting day).  I encourage members to log on each day to answer the day’s question as well as review, and respond to, the answers other members provided for the previous day’s question.  We will then meet via video-conference on May 23 at 3:00. 

If you’re not already a member of our web space email me at ayosco@lapl.org. I will send you the details you need to know to sign yourself up. 

Make a note: if you plan to join the video-conference you’ll need to send an email to ayosco@lapl.org so I can get the conference link to you.
