August Meeting

Great meeting tonight!!!!

We met at Claire's house with the author of this month's book - local author Doug Lorie.  We had a lengthy discussion of his book Acaju.  Great answers to in-depth questions about his writing style and thought process while writing the book.   We adjourned from Claire's lovely porch to see some of Doug's photos from Brazil and some beautiful yerba mahtay gourds.  





Doug brought some cashew seeds....several of us took one.  Not an every-day item for sure!  We'll see if we can grow them in Pittsboro!    (I put the spoon in the photo just to show the size).



 Next month's book is  Lessons I Learned from Nick Nack by Padgett Gerler (another fairly local author).  She will be attending next month's meeting at Luan's house! (the Kindle book is only $1.99 on Amazon!)

Be sure to check the link to the right for other books our members have been reading! 

And for a fun really easy read, try Padgett's husband's book How the Naked Ape Got to the Land of Nod by Edwin Gerler for just 99 cents on Amazon.  Very clever!
