Burning Books
The Trinity book club, called Burning Books, meets at members’ homes throughout the year to read books selected by the group and enjoy each other’s company. All interested readers are welcome to join the group. You do not need to be a member of the parish to join Burning Books, and you do not need to finish the book to attend the discussion.
Our next selection is “The Personal Librarian,” jointly written by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray.
We'll meet on Monday, May 19 at 7:30 p.m.
Other books we have read recently include “Naming Names” by Victor Navasky, a winner of the National Book Award. The New York Times wrote, “The moral issues raised by the Hollywood blacklist remain fearfully complex, and Victor Navasky confronts them with almost exquisite precision.

The book is meticulously researched, as well as fascinating.
