Rev. Susan Kershaw reports that the Second Wednesday Book Group, sponsored by St. John’s Episcopal Church, meets on Wednesday, January 9, to discuss George Orwell’s classic political fairy tale, Animal Farm. Orwell was reacting to events of the 1940’s in Britain, but this short tale about the risks of complacency and abuse of power is relevant today. What similarities might there be between life on the Animal Farm and the presidential campaigns of 2008 or political upheaval in other parts of the world? The book for discussion on February 12 is John Steinbeck’s novel, Cannery Row (if readers have time, read Sweet Thursday and Tortilla Flat). The group gathers at the Kershaw’s house, 12 Main Street. Newcomers and avid readers are always welcome. Call Susan, 756-4533 or 756-2962, for more information. CCB
