Our next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, July 10th.  


We will be joining together to discuss the book; Les Miserables by Victor Hugo.


We will be meeting at Becky’s Coffee Corner at 6pm.   Come a little early to take advantage of Becky’s services before the meeting starts.  Rosita Massie will be the host for this evening.

Let's all contribute our own ideas and opinions about the story, the author, the style and anything else about the book.  We all tend to leave with that much more insight.  Nothing lost.  So, come and join the company of a little humble book club every 2nd Tuesday of the month. Let’s talk about it….bring your book, your own perspectives, and enjoy the conversation!

“Rich and gorgeous. This is the [translation] to read… and if you are flying, just carry it under your arm as you board, or better still, rebook your holiday and go by train, slowly, page by page.”
—Jeanette Winterson, The Times (London)

“[A] magnificent story… marvelously captured in this new unabridged translation by Julie Rose.”
The Denver Post

“A new translation by Julie Rose of Hugo’s behemoth classic that is as racy and current and utterly arresting as it should be.”
Buffalo News (editor’s choice)

“Vibrant and readable, idiomatic and well suited to a long narrative, [Julie Rose’s new translation of Les Miserables] is closer to the captivating tone Hugo would have struck for his own contemporaries.”
—Diane Johnson

“A lively, dramatic, and wonderfully readable translation of one of the greatest 19th-century novels.”
—Alison Lurie

“Some of us may have read Les Miserables back in the day, but… between Gopnik and Rose, you’ll get two introductions that will offer you all the pleasures of your college instruction with none of the pain.”
