Event Details
Note: This month we will be meeting on the SECOND Monday of the month, not the first!
OBCeans deserve a book club that's a little bit quirky, just like they are! Join us on the first Monday of the month for a lively discussion of books that might not otherwise be on your radar. A limited number of copies of the month's selection will be available for checkout; just ask at the Circulation Desk.
In honor of Summerween, our spooky August book is A Head Full of Ghosts, by Paul Tremblay. From the book jacket:
The lives of the Barretts, a normal suburban New England family, are torn apart when fourteen-year-old Marjorie begins to display signs of acute schizophrenia. To her parents' despair, the doctors are unable to stop Marjorie's bizarre outbursts and subsequent descent into madness. As their home devolves into a house of horrors, they reluctantly turn to a local Catholic priest for help. Father Wanderly suggests an exorcism; he believes the vulnerable teenager is the victim of demonic possession. He also contacts a production company that is eager to document the Barretts' plight for a reality television show.
