Reading group discussion on November 2nd

Our Reading Group will meet on November 2nd (note the date change!) at 1:00 pm. And don't forget that the time changes and we "fall back" at 2 am on Sunday, November 2nd, the day of the meeting!).

We have an east side location this month, at member Stephanie Vardavas's house. If you have any donations for the raffle basket in December, bring them to this meeting. Joanne Graham will be collecting the donations and putting together a charming basket!

Deb Guyol will lead the discussion about The Three Weissmanns of Westport: A Novel, by Catherine Shine. Deb sends us the following to ponder and discuss.

Sense and Sensibility and The Three Weissmanns of Westport -- subjects to ponder and discuss:

1. The twists and tweaks 3W gives to the S&S characters, situations and relationships 
   
2. 3W romantic outcomes – fitting and funny, or not?
   
3. Themes and struggles of S&S – how to feel, how to act, how to suffer, how to be happy – do these find counterparts in 3W?
   
4. Money and its relationship to happiness in S&S and 3W
   
5. The tone and role of humor in S&S and 3W
   
6. The extremes – is any character in 3W as coldly manipulative as Lucy Steele? As innocently goodhearted as Mrs. Jennings?
