Mechanics' Hall Library Events in November

First Tuesday Book Club
From acclaimed novelist Kate Christensen, Blue Plate Special is a mouthwatering literary memoir about an unusual upbringing and the long, winding path to happiness.

“To taste fully is to live fully.” For Kate Christensen, food and eating have always been powerful connectors to self and world—“a subterranean conduit to sensuality, memory, desire.” Her appetites run deep; in her own words, she spent much of her life as “a hungry, lonely, wild animal looking for happiness and stability.” Now, having found them at last, in this passionate feast of a memoir she reflects upon her journey of innocence lost and wisdom gained, mistakes made and lessons learned, and hearts broken and mended.”

Travel Films and dates
Monday,Nov. 10 - "The Other Side of Mexico" is a journey away from the news headlines and the beach resorts.  It is a journey into the scenically dramatic, historically significant and wonderfully colorful Central Highlands.  Included are the contrasts of ancient and modern Mexico City, award-winning arts and crafts, folk dancing and mariachi bands!

Monday, Nov. 24 - "Italy's Fabled Isles, Sicily, Capri and Elba".  Our ports of call include places mentioned in Richard Halliburton's "Glorious Adventure" and Homer's "Odyssey".  We'll walk the land once ruled by Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Arabs and Normans while soaking up centuries of culture.
