C.S. Lewis on entertainment
"Every good book should be entertaining. A good book will be more; it must not be less. Entertainment . . . is like a qualifying examination. If a fiction can't provide even that, we may be excused from inquiry into its higher qualities."
--C.S. Lewis, An Experiment in Criticism

reading group meeting #2: Haroun and the Sea of Stories
Sunday night five of us (David, Dori, Lyndsey, and Katrina) discussed Wendell Berry's novel The Memory of Old Jack over pretzel balls, gummi eggs, and pink lemonade. Wonder of wonders, everyone actually read the book and everyone liked it. Several members expressed a willingness to read more Berry. Perhaps we will.
Meeting #2 will be...
Sunday, June 5 @ 7:00 p.m. at Prenkert's house.
The book is Salmon Rushdie's Haroun and the Sea of Stories.
