Downtown Library Book Discussion Group (1:00 PM-2:00 PM)
Location: Downtown Branch
The Downtown Book Discussion Group meets on the third Thursday of every month at 1pm in the Downtown Library. The group has lively discussions on literate fiction and nonfiction they have chosen and read in advance. In February the group will discuss "Catch 22" by Joseph Heller. "Catch-22" is like no other novel we have ever read. It has its own style, its own rationale, its own extraordinary character. It moves back and forth from hilarity to horror. It is outrageously funny and strangely affecting. It is totally original. It is set in the closing months of World War II, in an American bomber squadron on a small island off Italy. Its hero is a bombardier named Yossarian, who is frantic and furious because thousands of people he hasn't even met keep trying to kill him. (He has decided to live forever even if he has to die in the attempt.). There are copies of "Catch 22" available at the Downtown Library Circulation Desk.
