Book Discussion Group

Please join us for the next lively, informal gathering
of Meting of the Minds, an online book discussion
group designed specifically for print-impaired
readers. On Thursday, March 18 from 7:00 to 8:00
Central Standard Time (8:00 to 9:00 Eastern) we will
be discussing the comic novel, Handling Sin, by
Michael Malone. The novel recounts with breakneck
speed the travels and adventures of an insurance
salesman from a small town in North Carolina and his
friend and sidekick as they search for the salesman's
ailing father, who mysteriously left the local
hospital, bought a cadillac, left a treasure hunt for
his son, and was last seen leaving town with a young
woman. Malone has been called the Dickens of America
because of his high-spirited writing style, menagerie
of comic characters, and appeals to our sensibilities
and better instincts.

Follow the same directions for access.
