Jane Austen Book Club

Following an unexpected cancellation last month, the Jane Austen* Book Club is back next Monday, Oct. 13th at 6:30 pm in the McIntyre Room/ Carnegie building.  We will be continuing our look at "Lady Susan", Austen's epistolary novel, published after her death.  If you haven't read the book, don't worry.  We will have copies of the pages for you to read at the meeting.  Tea and cookies will be served.

The Black Swan: Movie Review

       Prepare to step back in time. Back to the days when a privateer could sail the ocean blue without ever leaving the Hollywood studios. Back to the days when people enjoyed watching actors pretend the rapier went straight to their gut, when really they are hiding it under their arm. Back to the days when a pillager could become as upright and desirable as the town mayor. Ah, yes, those were the days. He grabs and kisses her, she bites him, he knocks her flat, but by the end of the movie she will defend him in the face of any danger or indignity.

Get "Lost" at JDL

Did you see the Cit-Pat's Thursday Entertainment section praising the ABC show "LOST?"  If you wonder what all the fuss is about, we have seasons One, Two and Three here at JDL.  Each season counts as one of our two for a dollar DVD price.  I spent most of the Memorial Day weekend catching up with Season Three.  Trust me, the best way to watch these weekly cliff-hangers is all at once!  Check our catalog and prepare to get lost in

Jane Austen Book Club Meets June 9th

The JA Book Club meets on June 9th at 5:00 (summer hours) in the MacIntyre Room in the Carnegie Building.  We will be discussing our favorite Jane Austen Fanfiction - that huge body of sequels, continuances, parodies and homages that have arisen around our favorite author's work.  We will serve tea and cakes as usual, providing physical as well as intellectual nourishment.

Congratulations to Sara Calkins, one of our founding members, on receiving the distinction of National Merit Scholar.  We're very proud of you.  See you all at our next meeting!
