Our April 25 book will be 1984 by George Orwell. This classic is a profound anti-utopian novel that examines the dangers of totalitarian rule. The book is set in 1984 in Oceania, one of three perpetually warring totalitarian states (the other two are Eurasia and Eastasia). Oceania is governed by the all-controlling Party, which has brainwashed the population into unthinking obedience to its leader, Big Brother. The novella follows the life of Winston Smith, a low-ranking member of the Party, who is frustrated by the omnipresent eyes of the party and its ominous ruler Big Brother.
The May 23 book will be The Strangers by Katherena Vermette. The Book Club meets on the fourth Tuesday evening of each month from 7:00 to 9:00 pm (except December) in the Lower Hall. Contact Brianna at [email protected] or 403-836-3626 for more information. Come and join in a lively discussion about a great book.
