Author Night April 13, 2017 Atlanta History Center

Thursday, April 13, 2017

Attendeed:  Cheryl, Joan, Emily, Pam and Susan.  

In lieu of a regular book club night we had a field trip to the Atlanta History Center to hear author Anthony Doerr speak about his novel All The Light We Cannot See, which was our selection back in February 2015 (!)

He was an excellent speaker and gave a most entertaining speech and slide show starting with his  background as a kid.  He shared his personal life curiosities and interests which led from childhood fishtanks... to gems and minerals... to bioluminescence in fish... to cell phone waves... 

 all of which is..... the light we cannot see.  There, you have it in a nutshell.

Our outing started out with a tailgate at the history center, complete with picnic table.  How much fun do we have as a book club?!  Yay!

Yummy sandwiches provided by Susan, thank you!

Next month is a double with Born to Run by the Bruce and A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles
