Books For October

Hullo again

Okay, so we haven't yet formally reviewed "One Book: Many Brisbanes" but at our first meeting we decided to pick out the titles for October in case we finished September's offering too quickly :-)

These are the books that we will be reviewing in November (gosh, is in nearly Christmas time already?!?!) and they can be booked on-line at the Brisbane City Councils website below

Book #1.

Title: Rebecca
Author: Daphne Du Maurier

“Last night I dreamed I went to Manderley again” – is often quoted as one of the most famous first lines in literature. The haunting tale of mystery, memories and the past that the young, second Mrs de Winter must face at Manderley is a story that never losses its appeal. If you haven’t read this classic for some time it is well worth revisiting and is still a great story for discussion.

This book is available at most libraries and there are several listings for Audio Books which might be useful when one is cleaning house.

Book #2

Title: The Interpretation of Murder
Author: Jed Rubenfeld

"A murder mystery with a clever plot, The Interpretation of Murder is set in New York in the early 20th century. Dr. Stratham Younger, a student of Sigmund Freud is asked to investigate a murder. Using some of Freud’s teachings, Younger analyzes the actions, motives, relationships, and personalities of all those involved in the crimes. The New York scene is very well drawn and Freud’s part in the novel adds an interesting twist."

There are large print editions of this book available at Indooroopilly and Audio Books available for some of the other libraries (A quick call to Indooroopilly Library will explain how to order that in to the library).

I'm going to talk to the co-ordinator of the Mobile Library which parks off Marshall Lane every Tuesday too see if we get the books brought there as well the month before, to ensure that we can read through all the books before the allotted time is through.

If anyone needs assistance with booking their books (no pun intended) through their home computers, please contact the Brisbane City Council on (07) 3403 8888.

Warmest regards and happy reading until next Wednesday (1st October).
