As summer winds down and we begin to feel the last legs of yet another season we are also shifting into another book club selection that returns us to the realm of non-fiction. This month we'll be reading "Into the Wild" by Jon Krakauer, a title that is immensely thought-provoking and gripping at the same time. Jon Krakauer has written some terrific pieces of non-fiction over the years, but this title is particularly well-suited to the discussion and thoughtful conversation that a good book club will foster. In fact, it's not often that I can personally recommend the filmed version of a book, but Sean Penn directed a marvelous version of "Into the Wild" in 2007 and if you have some extra time, check it out as well if you're so inclined. All right, the next meeting of our book club meets on Wednesday the 9th of September at 6:30pm, as always.
