Our next book, Watchmen by Alan Moore & Dave Gibbons, is one of the most critically lauded works of fiction of the last quarter century. Find out what all the fuss is about.
Many members of the book club owned personal copies, so there are quite a few copies left for pick up at the Main Library Return Desk.
We'll be meeting to discuss this book November 20th at the Main Library in Conference Rm 3 at 6pm. Feel free to bring food and drink.

Some thoughts about Pale Fire...
- Does this novel succeed on a dramatic level?
- Is Nabokov lampooning academia? Is he more sympathetic to John Shade or Charles Kinbote?
- How do the circumstances surrounding Shade’s death relate to his ideas about mortality found in the poem?
- Did you notice any recurring formal motifs in the novel?
