Book Discussion Group,

Lake Forest Park Library

You had better start reading now, because you have just over a week to read the Sherman Alexie book and join the LFP Library discussion group.

This month’s title is The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian by bestselling author Sherman Alexie.  

The novel tells the story of Junior, a budding cartoonist growing up on the Spokane Indian Reservation. Determined to take his future into his own hands, Junior leaves his troubled school on the reservation to attend an all-white farm town high school where the only other Indian is the school mascot. 

Heartbreaking, funny, and beautifully written, with poignant drawings by Ellen Forney, the book is based on the author's own experiences growing up on “the rez.”

You have a lot more time to get ready for the June discussion.

The title for the June discussion will be The Girls from Ames: a Story of Women and a Forty-Year Friendship by Jeffrey Zaslow.

The Lake Forest Park Library is on the lower level of Towne Centre at the intersection of Bothell and Ballinger Ways. 17171 Bothell Way NE 98155.
