4th quarter books chosen!

The Fairfax Library Book Discussion Group has chosen the books we'll read and discuss together in the next 3 months. All of our meetings are on the first Thursday of the month at 7 pm in the meeting room of the Fairfax Library.




On Thursday, October 2nd, we'll discuss Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight by Alexandra Fuller.

Fuller writes poignantly about a girl becoming a woman and a writer against a backdrop of unrest, not just in her country (Africa) but in her home. The story of one woman's unbreakable bond with a continent and the people who inhabit it, a portrait lovingly realized and deeply felt.



On Thursday, November 6th, we'll discuss Hannah Coulter by Wendell Berry.

A brilliant and inspiring novel that is filled with the truth of an inherent wisdom imprinted on the soul. Berry has captured the intrinsic nature of man and it is defined by God, family, community, and "place."



On Thursday, December 4th, we'll discuss Confessions of a Pagan Nun by Kate Horsley


A fictional memoir of a nun during Ireland's Dark Ages. Gwynneve's story is one of adventure, joy, and loss. She whispers to us the wisdom she isn't yet aware she has written herself. This powerful little book will be deeply
satisfying for many readers.
I look forward to seeing you at the Fairfax Library.

Thanks for reading with us!
