Event Details
Note: Because of the Monday closure, the Off-Beat Book Club will now be meeting on the first Tuesday of the month.
OBCeans deserve a book club that's a little bit quirky, just like they are! Join us on the first Tuesday 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.
Our October book is the frigidly spooky Let Me In by John Ajvide Lindqvist (translated from Swedish by Ebba Segerberg; also published as Let the Right One In). From the publisher:
It is autumn 1981 when inconceivable horror comes to Blackeberg, a suburb in Sweden. The body of a teenager is found, emptied of blood, the murder rumored to be part of a ritual killing. Twelve-year-old Oskar is personally hoping that revenge has come at long last—revenge for the bullying he endures at school, day after day.
But the murder is not the most important thing on his mind. A new girl has moved in next door—a girl who has never seen a Rubik’s Cube before, but who can solve it at once. There is something wrong with her, though, something odd. And she only comes out at night. . .
