Program Description

Description

The title for this month is All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy, 1992

John Grady Cole, a 16-year-old dispossessed Texan, crosses the Rio Grande into Mexico in 1949, accompanied by his pal Lacey Rawlins. The two precocious horsemen pick up a sidekick--a laughable but deadly marksman named Jimmy Blevins. Together they encounter various adventures on their way south and finally arrive at a paradisiacal hacienda where Cole falls into an ill-fated romance.

The A.M. Book Discussion meets in person with an option to participate via Zoom on the fourth Wednesday of the month at 10:00 am (except for December). This book group will also not meet on the Wednesday before the Thanksgiving Day Holiday on 11/28/24.. The A.M. Book Group leader will set a date change for November. New readers are always welcome. Tom Madden is the facilitator.
