The Bookies had a spirited discussion, sparked by historian David McCullough's collection of his own positive and revealing speeches within his book entitled The American Spirit: Who We Are and What We Stand For. The Bookies took the gamble and we all left on the best of terms while voicing what we stood for!
We stand again on Tuesday, November 13 at 7 pm to discuss another David McCullough book, entitled The Greater Journey: Americans in Paris, published in 2011. The author researches and entertains us with portraits of many American writers, artists, doctors, teachers, scientists and more, well-known and lesser known, as they set off in the years of 1830 to 1900. We may discover the lure that Paris and France held for these early Americans, who made the sometimes perilous journey across the ocean to bathe in Paris's Old World culture.
We'll ride the waves of our own prospect for a richly rewarding discussion when we meet again. Hope you can pick up a copy in regular print, large print or book-on-cd at the Circulation Desk of the Goodnow library.
