Ex Libris Talking Book Club
This discussion group is primarily for print-disabled or visually impaired persons, however everyone is welcome. The next meeting will be on Friday, Feb. 3 from 11 a.m..-12:30 p.m. in the ParkLane Room. The book under discussion will be The Sad Truth About Happiness by Anne Giardini. Set in Vancouver, this book tells the story of 32 year-old radiation technologist named Maggie. Maggie pretests a quiz that is supposed to predict life expectancy and is told she only has months to live unless she finds happiness. But how does one go about that when life is so unpredictable?
