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 Book and Dagger by Elsye Graham
We'll meet on Monday, April 20 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.

Book and Dagger by Elsye Graham
Our next selection, Book and Dagger by Elsye Graham, a 400-page book including plenty of author's notes. The book tells the story of the agency called OSS (the precursor of the CIA), using some of their writings. As Amazon writes, "Thrillingly paced and rigorously researched, Book and Dagger is an inspiring and gripping true story of espionage about a group of academics who helped beat the Nazis—a tale that reveals the indelible power of the humanities to change the world.
