Moke Hill READS In the Park

May 29, 2020 by contributor

We are meeting in Shutter Tree Park (next to the library on the north) at 7 PM.  Bring a chair and your own drink or snack. If you haven’t read this month’s book come anyway with reports on what you have been reading and ideas for our next book.

 

June 2, 2020.  Rendezvous with Rama, by Arthur C. Clark.  Sample a science fiction treat with this award-winning, classic novel by the dean of the genre, Arthur C. Clark.  In the 22ed century, a huge object enters our solar system and a space team is sent to discover its origins and purpose.  Cylindrical and some thirty miles long, this intersteller spacecraft amazes the astronauts and planet-bound scientists alike as they prepare for humankind’s first encounter with alien intelligence.

July 7, 2020.  The Feast of All Saints, by Anne Rice.  This historical novel explores a hidden world of New Orleans after the Civil War.  The mixed-race population – from French, white, black, and Native American roots — developed their own society of artists, poets, scientists, and craftsmen that reached far beyond their domain.  Marcel, the blue eyed scholar, Marie his fair-skinned sister, Christophe the writer, and Anna Bella the seductresses: all with rich and compelling stories.
