C3 and Friends Book Discussion Group

C3 and Friends Book Discussion Group

Due to the election, we will meet on Tuesday, November 9 (not November 2). Save the date to discuss our next book selection, Straight Man by Pulitzer Prize-winning Richard Russo. This proves to be a GREAT read, perfect for the fall! 

• “The funniest serious novel I have read since—well, maybe since Portnoy’s Complaint.”–Tom De Haven, The New York Times Book Review
• “There is a big, wry heart beating at the center of Russo’s fiction.”–The New Yorker
• “[Russo] skewers academic pretensions and infighting with mad abandon…in a clear and muscular prose that is a pleasure to read….I had to stop often to guffaw, gasp, wheeze, and wipe away my tears.” – Henry Kisor, Chicago Sun-Times 
• “Bursting with humor and insight.” –USA Today  

We we will be meeting at Valerie Engeltjes’ home, 5935 Beaver Creek Drive, Coopersville.
