September 19 
BOOK: He, She and It by Marge Piercy. There are many copies in the Minuteman Library Network. The meeting will be at Marie Ariel's. Some people may also read the -- apologies to author Herman Wouk -- "beach read" novel, Marjorie Morningstar. There are also many copies in Minuteman.

Other Matters for the Book Group: 
 

• Marie has offered to host the Book Group in September, November, January, March and May. Please think about hosting during one or several of the other months.
•  
• If you have an announcement about a book or author we've read or will be reading, or if you have other *book group related news* (as opposed to general political or cultural news), if you are on this list, you can send a message to the group using the email address: wcbookgroup@googlegroups.com.
