New for the summer of 2008, the adult book discussion group at the Tipp City Library has decided to start a Jane Austen book club, following the order of the novels in The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler, beginning with Emma. Sign up will be encouraged to help prepare us for a larger than usual crowd, especially if we want to serve refreshments. Early on in the group's history we decided to read young adult novels over the summer months, encouraged by idea of reading banned books. One of our earliest readings was The Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson. Perhaps there will be more interest in Jane Austen sparked by the run of Jane Austen movies on Masterpiece Theater last winter and the release of the movie of Fowler's novel.
