Fall is Here! We are here!

Hopefully you were able to get your reading needs met through other outlets for the past few weeks. I promise you we will be back in full swing in a matter of days. We are all looking foward to seeing you all again in our new location.

We have three book clubs meeting This October: The Monday Night Book Club with Melinda will meet Oct 27th at The Open Book on Main Street. She will be discussing The Piano Tuner by Daniel Mason.

In October 1886, Edgar Drake receives a strange request from the British War Office: he must leave his wife and his quiet life in London to travel to the jungles of Burma, where a rare Erard grand piano is in need of repair. The piano belongs to an army surgeon-major whose unorthodox peacemaking methods—poetry, medicine, and now music—have brought a tentative quiet to the southern Shan States but have elicited questions from his superiors.


Professor Frank Mosca returns on Thurday Oct. 23 to discuss Demian by Herman Hesse

In Demian, one of the great writers of the twentieth century tells the dramatic story of young, docile Emil Sinclair's descent--led by precocious shoolmate Max Demian--into a secret and dangerous world of petty crime and revolt against convention and eventual awakening to selfhood.

Books and Brew is the newest book club and will led by Jay (me!). The idea of this book club is to find material, both fiction and nonfiction that will appeal particularly to men. Book clubs have not traditionaly been a beg draw for men, let's change that. Of course we welcome everyone.
For our first read I have chosen what many people consider to be Clive Cussler's best "Dirk Pitt" novel Atlantis Found.



We will be meeting at the Sunset cafe (yes,the brew refers to coffee) on Sunset Avenue in Westhampton beach near the 7-11.

Of course we have many new titles in print, CD and Playaway formats.
