LWD Book Club ~ September 2017

We got back to town after our trip to Houston this afternoon around 3 p.m. But before heading home we made a quick stop at Sears.

Our dryer had died around 11 p.m. the night before we left but the good news is I happened to still be downstairs and smelled it before it caught fire. The other good news is that Sears is having a really good Labor Day weekend sale so we got a terrific deal on a new dryer. David installed it right away…I think I’ll keep him!

I’ll share more about our Houston trip later but for now let’s go ahead and take a look at the LWD Book Club September selections.

LWD SEPTEMBER BOOK CLUB SELECTIONS

The Potlikker Papers: A Food History of the Modern South by John T. Edge

Over the last three generations, wrenching changes have transformed the South. The Potlikker Papers tells the story of that dynamism—and reveals how Southern food has become a shared culinary language for the nation.

The House of Twenty Thousand Books by Sasha Abramsky

The House of Twenty Thousand Books is the story of Chimen Abramsky, an extraordinary polymath and bibliophile who amassed a vast collection of socialist literature and Jewish history. For more than fifty years Chimen and his wife, Miriam, hosted epic gatherings in their house of books that brought together many of the age’s greatest thinkers.

The Perfume Collector: A Novel by Kathleen Tessaro

The Perfume Collector explores the complex and obsessive love between muse and artist, and the tremendous power of memory and scent.

I apologize for the lack of commentary on my selections. It’s after 9 p.m., I haven’t unpacked from our Houston trip and we leave in the morning for a three-day trip to Oklahoma City to (finally) celebrate my birthday. But at least I got this posted on the first of the month so I’m calling this a win.
