THE REMEDIAL BOOK CLUB FOR IMMATURE ADULTS (adults only), rated PG-18. This is Collette's book club designed for adults to rediscover some of the classics of children's literature that some of us may have missed in our own childhoods . . . ok, or we didn't do the homework assignments in school . . . or, at the time, we thought we'd rather die than read that old chestnut. We will be meeting on the first Monday of each month starting at 6:30 pm.

Our next meeting will be Monday, September 6th at 6:30 pm. We'll be reading Life After Genius by M. Ann Jacoby.

Go here to peruse some of the books we've read in the past.

This ought to be Mead Fegley's best time. He is just days away from college graduation at the tender age of 18 and honored with the chance to give a major presentation. Instead, he's hiding out at his family's funeral parlor looking for an escape into a different future. A boy genius pushed by his mother and terrorized by classmates, Mead heads for college with hopes of freedom and belonging. He quickly learns about academic politics but not quickly enough about friendship. Caught in intrigues beyond his understanding, he only has a few days to sort out what has gone wrong and how to fit the pieces of his life back together. The result is part mystery, part coming-of-age, and entirely engaging. This semiautobiographical novel by an award-winning book-jacket designer whose father was a math genius and whose grandfather was an undertaker is recommended for fiction collections.
