Deborah Loving, Ann McCann and Kathy Harris
The Book Trotters met Monday evening at Times Ten Cellar in Lakewood to discuss this month’s book club selection, “The Rosie Project: A Novel.” Member Ann McCann chose the selection by Graeme Simsion.
The best seller (2013) novel is full of heart and humor. A debut novel, it tells the story of Asperger’s-afflicted Don Tillman—a fussy, socially-challenged man and his search for the perfect wife.
Most of the Book Trotters agreed that they know someone with Aspergers.
“Don was funny and surprisingly likeable,” Kathy Harris said. “We were glad that Rosie ‘got’ him.”
While discussing the book the group enjoyed shrimp, salad and fruit.
Mary Kay Henley brought mango and peach ice cream to “challenge” the Book Trotters with a blind tasting to see if they could tell the difference between the two.
Forever learning and having fun, the Book Trotters will be back in January with a new adventure.
Happy Holidays!
