 The Book and Film Group will finish this season of 2010 on March 29 and April 19 or 26. We meet in the church Reception Room behind the Parish Hall. Our usual day is the fourth Monday in the month, but to accommodate other church activities, we occasionally shift the date. Meetings normally start at 7:30 PM. This past year, we twice met at 6 PM in order to eat a pizza supper while viewing the film of the evening.Members share the discussion responsibilities and debate is often lively. New members are most welcome.
On February 1, 2010, we discussed The Book of Negroes by Lawrence Hill; on March 1, 2010 Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson was the subject. Our remaining two evenings before the summer break will be:
- March 29 - we will watch The Reader after a pizza supper. RSVPs most helpful. Time 6 pm, Place: Reception Room.
- April 19 or April 26 we will meet to plan the 2010-2011 season.
 In the 2008-9 season, we discussed The Other Side of the Bridge by Mary Lawson in September; The Ladies of Missalonghi by Colleen McCullough in November; and in November we watched and discussed Away from Her, the film based on a short story by Alice Munro which can be found in The Bear Came Over the Mountain. On January 26, 2009, the book featured was Suite Française by Irène Némirovsky. On February 23, the group discussed The Sewing Circles of Herat: A Personal voyage through Afghanistan by Christina Lamb. On March 30, the group watched and discussed The Debaters.
