SUMMARY:Third Thursday Book Discussion - A Stranger in the Woods
DESCRIPTION:LIBRARIES IN THE WOODS SERIES PRESENTS: \nA Discussion of A Stranger in the Woods by Michael Finkel \nMany people dream of escaping modern life\, but most will never act on it. This is the remarkable true story of a man who lived alone in the woods of Maine for 27 years\, making this dream a reality; not out of anger at the world\, but simply because he preferred to live on his own.A New York Times bestseller: In 1986\, a shy and intelligent twenty-year-old named Christopher Knight left his home in Massachusetts\, drove to Maine\, and disappeared into the forest. He would not have a conversation with another human being until nearly three decades later\, when he was arrested for stealing food. Living in a tent even through brutal winters\, he had survived by his wits and courage\, developing ingenious ways to store edibles and water\, and to avoid freezing to death. He broke into nearby cottages for food\, clothing\, reading material\, and other provisions\, taking only what he needed but terrifying a community never able to solve the mysterious burglaries. Based on extensive interviews with Knight himself\, this is a vividly detailed account of his secluded life – why did he leave? what did he learn? – as well as the challenges he has faced since returning to the world. It is a gripping story of survival that asks fundamental questions about solitude\, community\, and what makes a good life\, and a deeply moving portrait of a man who was determined to live his own way\, and succeeded. \nThird Thursday is an informal group\, open to all\, no sign up necessary. Reserve your book at the adult circulation desk or online. \nLIBRARIES IN THE WOODS is a community-read program of 10 local libraries\, featuring discussion and related programs on the book\, “Stranger in the Woods: The extraordinary story of the last true hermit” by Michael Finkel.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Book Discussion – Into the Wild
DESCRIPTION:In April 1992 a young man from a well-to-do family hitchhiked to Alaska and walked alone into the wilderness north of Mt. McKinley. His name was Christopher Johnson McCandless. He had given $25\,000 in savings to charity\, abandoned his car and most of his possessions\, burned all the cash in his wallet\, and invented a new life for himself. Four months later\, his decomposed body was found by a moose hunter. Jon Krakauer constructs a clarifying prism through which he reassembles the disquieting facts of McCandless’s short life. Digging deeply\, he takes an inherently compelling mystery and unravels the larger riddles it holds: the profound pull of the American wilderness on our imagination; the allure of high-risk activities to young men of a certain cast of mind; the complex\, charged bond between fathers and sons

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Book Discussion – Quiet by Susan Cain
DESCRIPTION:At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over working in teams. It is to introverts—Rosa Parks\, Chopin\, Dr. Seuss\, Steve Wozniak—that we owe many of the great contributions to society. \nIn Quiet\, Susan Cain argues that we dramatically undervalue introverts and shows how much we lose in doing so. She charts the rise of the Extrovert Ideal throughout the twentieth century and explores how deeply it has come to permeate our culture. She also introduces us to successful introverts—from a witty\, high-octane public speaker who recharges in solitude after his talks\, to a record-breaking salesman who quietly taps into the power of questions. Passionately argued\, superbly researched\, and filled with indelible stories of real people\, Quiet has the power to permanently change how we see introverts and\, equally important\, how they see themselves.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Book Discussion - Wangs vs. the World by Jade Chang
DESCRIPTION:“A hilarious debut novel about a wealthy but fractured Chinese immigrant family that had it all\, only to lose every last cent–and about the road trip they take across America that binds them back together. Charles Wang is mad at America. A brash\, lovable immigrant businessman who built a cosmetics empire and made a fortune\, he’s just been ruined by the financial crisis. Now all Charles wants is to get his kids safely stowed away so that he can go to China and attempt to reclaim his family’s ancestral lands–and his pride. Charles pulls Andrew\, his aspiring comedian son\, and Grace\, his style-obsessed daughter\, out of schools he can no longer afford. Together with their stepmother\, Barbra\, they embark on a cross-country road trip from their foreclosed Bel-Air home to the upstate New York hideout of the eldest daughter\, disgraced art world it-girl Saina. But with his son waylaid by a temptress in New Orleans\, his wife ready to defect for a set of 1\,000-thread-count sheets\, and an epic smash-up in North Carolina\, Charles may have to choose between the old world and the new\, between keeping his family intact and finally fulfilling his dream of starting anew in China. Outrageously funny and full of charm\, The Wangs vs. the World is an entirely fresh look at what it means to belong in America–and how going from glorious riches to (still name-brand) rags brings one family together in a way money never could”– Provided by publisher. \nThird Thursday is an informal group\, open to all\, no sign up necessary.

SUMMARY:Mystery Book Discussion - A Killing in the Hills by Julia Keller
DESCRIPTION:In this novel a mother and a daughter try to do right by a town and each other before it is too late. What is happening in Acker’s Gap\, West Virginia? Three elderly men are gunned down over their coffee at a local diner\, and seemingly half the town is there to witness the act. Still\, it happened so fast\, and no one seems to have gotten a good look at the shooter. Was it random? Was it connected to the spate of drug violence plaguing poor areas of the country just like Acker’s Gap? Or were Dean Streeter\, Shorty McClurg\, and Lee Rader targeted somehow? One of the witnesses to the brutal incident was Carla Elkins\, teenaged daughter of Bell Elkins\, the prosecuting attorney for Raythune County\, West Virginia. Carla was shocked and horrified by what she saw\, but after a few days\, she begins to recover enough to believe that she might be uniquely placed to help her mother do her job. After all\, what better way to repair their fragile\, damaged relationship? But could Carla also end up doing more harm than good\, in fact\, putting her own life in danger? \nJoin us on the first Thursday of the month for a lively discussion of this month’s title and other of life’s mysteries.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Book Discussion - Salt Houses by Hala Alyan
DESCRIPTION:“From a dazzling new literary voice\, a debut novel about a Palestinian family caught between present and past\, between displacement and home … On the eve of her daughter Alia’s wedding\, Salma reads the girl’s future in a cup of coffee dregs. She sees an unsettled life for Alia and her children; she also sees travel\, and luck. While she chooses to keep her predictions to herself that day\, they will all soon come to pass when the family is up rooted in the wake of the Six-Day War of 1967. Salma is forced to leave her home in Nablus; Alia’s brother gets pulled into a politically militarized world he can’t escape; and Alia and her gentle-spirited husband move to Kuwait City\, where they reluctantly build a life with their three children. When Saddam Hussein invades Kuwait in1990\, Alia and her family once again lose their home\, their land\, and their story as they know it\, scattering to Beirut\, Paris\, Boston\, and beyond. Soon Alia’s children begin families of their own\, once again navigating the burdens (and blessings) of assimilation in foreign cities. Lyrical and heartbreaking\, Salt Houses is a remarkable debut novel that challenges and humanizes an age-old conflict we might think we understand–one that asks us to confront that most devastating of all truths: you can’t go home again”– Provided by publisher. \nDiscussion led by Tiffany Ehle. Third Thursday is open to all\, no sign up necessary. Reserve your book at the adult circulation desk or online.  \nSponsored in part by a grant from the Deerfield Cultural Council.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Book Discussion - The Unchangeable Spots of Leopards by Kristopher Jansma
DESCRIPTION:“An inventive and witty debut about a young man’s quest to become a writer and the misadventures in life and love that take him around the globe From as early as he can remember\, the hopelessly unreliable–yet hopelessly earnest–narrator of this ambitious debut novel has wanted to become a writer. From the jazz clubs of Manhattan to the villages of Sri Lanka\, Kristopher Jansma’s irresistible narrator will be inspired and haunted by the success of his greatest friend and rival in writing\, the eccentric and brilliantly talented Julian McGann\, and endlessly enamored with Julian’s enchanting friend\, Evelyn\, the green-eyed girl who got away. After the trio has a disastrous falling out\, desperate to tell the truth in his writing and to figure out who he really is\, Jansma’s narrator finds himself caught in a never-ending web of lies. As much a story about a young man and his friends trying to make their way in the world as a profoundly affecting exploration of the nature of truth and storytelling\, The Unchangeable Spots of Leopards will appeal to readers of Tom Rachman’s The Imperfectionists and Jennifer Egan’s Pulitzer Prize-winning A Visit from the Goon Squad with its elegantly constructed exploration of the stories we tell to find out who we really are. “– Provided by publisher.\n“Can a leopard ever really change his spots? Can a person ever change? These are the timeless questions that Kristopher Jansma asks in this enchanting debut novel about three great friends–two men and one woman–their triumphs and failures in life and love and their globe-spanning adventures. From the jazz clubs of Manhattan to the villages of Sri Lanka\, these three remarkably engaging characters grow up and grow old\, fall in and out of love\, write novels and wed wealthy European aristocrats. As much a story about a young man and his friends trying to find their way in the world as a whipsmart exploration of the nature of truth and storytelling\, The Unchangeable Spots of Leopards will delight readers with its near perfect alchemy of emotional depth and warmth\, formal playfulness\, and sophisticated but always accessible exploration of what it means to grow up”– Provided by publisher.

SUMMARY:Third Thursday Book Discussion - A Semester of Debut Novels
DESCRIPTION:Spill\, Simmer\, Falter\, Wither by Sara Baume is the first of six debut novels we will be discussing.   \n“A debut novel already praised as “unbearably poignant and beautifully told” (Eimear McBride) this captivating story follows — over the course of four seasons — a misfit man who adopts a misfit dog. It is springtime\, and two outcasts — a man ignored\, even shunned by his village\, and the one-eyed dog he takes into his quiet\, tightly shuttered life — find each other\, by accident or fate\, and forge an unlikely connection. As their friendship grows\, their small\, seaside town suddenly takes note of them\, falsely perceiving menace where there is only mishap; the unlikely duo must take to the road. Gorgeously written in poetic and mesmerizing prose\, Spill Simmer Falter Wither has already garnered wild support in its native Ireland\, where the Irish Times pointed to Baume’s “astonishing power with language” and praised it as “a novel bursting with brio\, braggadocio and bite.” It is also a moving depiction of how — over the four seasons echoed in the title — a relationship between fellow damaged creatures can bring them both comfort. One of those rare stories that utterly\, completely imagines its way into a life most of us would never see\, it transforms us not only in our understanding of the world\, but also of ourselves. “– Provided by publisher \nDiscussion led by Tiffany Ehle.
