Book Talk to cover ten terrific reads

the Fallbrook Library announce their popular Book Talks program will have its first meeting of the season September 14.

Book Talks begin at 1:30 p.m. and are held in the Fallbrook Public Utility District building, 990 E. Mission Road, Fallbrook. Each session is approximately one to one and a half hours long. The public is invited. Attendees do not need to have read the book prior to coming to Book Talks. Reservations are not required and Book Talks are free.

Ten different knowledgeable people will lead Book Talks. Each person has chosen a book for discussion. Choices are made based on the individual’s personal interest in the book, its overall appeal to other readers, its theme or relevancy to the month or other activities taking place in Fallbrook.

Each leader will present information about the book’s author, then lead a discussion about the book itself. Both fiction and nonfiction titles are represented on this season’s list.

First up on September 14 is “Brick Lane: A Novel” by author Monica Ali. It is a story about a Bangladeshi woman transported to London to endure an arranged marriage who discovers the power of free choice.
