Cornell Club of Greater Buffalo

February Book Club
2018-02-13 19:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York)
Cuddle up this February with a good read and gather to discuss on February 13th. Host Terri Zelasko has selected Strangers in Their Own Land by Arlie Russell Hochschild.

“The renowned sociologist Arlie Hochschild embarks on a thought-provoking journey from her liberal hometown of Berkeley, California, deep into Louisiana bayou country―a stronghold of the conservative right. As she gets to know people who strongly oppose many of the ideas she famously champions, Hochschild nevertheless finds common ground and quickly warms to the people she meets―among them a Tea Party activist whose town has been swallowed by a sinkhole caused by a drilling accident―people whose concerns are actually ones that all Americans share: the desire for community, the embrace of family, and hopes for their children.”

January Book Club
2018-01-09 19:00 - 21:00
Save the Date!
Book Club will meet January 9th, 2018. We’ll be discussing A Trick of the Light by Louis Penney.
“Artist Clara Morrow is about to have a prestigious show of her paintings when her childhood friend is found murdered, and the finger of suspicion points to Clara. Chief Inspector Gamache is called to investigate, and using his trademark powers of deduction and his intuitive knack for the right question at the right time, he exposes the darkness that underlies the bright stars of Montreal’s art world, where competition between friends, and even between husband and wife, can turn lethal. .” ―Lisa Scottoline
Rick Greenberg will host January’s meeting at his home in North Buffalo. Please contact Celinda Crego at cac432@aol.com to RSVP.
