About this Event
We will have a picnic under the trees along Banyan Lawn at Roma Park. Bring a picnic rug, snacks, and anything else you would like at a picnic. If the weather is rainy, we will most likely meet at the Garden Room nearby, but will update the event closer to the date.
Genre for the month: Short Classics - fiction
We couldn't decide between these two books, so it's up to you! Read whichever one piques your interest, or if you want - read both!
Blurb (The Time Machine - HG Wells):
"A young scientist builds a machine that transports him 800,000 years into the future. He finds that the earth is decaying, and humanity has evolved into two distinct species: the brutal Morlocks and the gentle Eloi. The scientist befriends the Eloi, who consume a diet of fruit and play during the day. At night, the Morlocks emerge to prey on Eloi."
Blurb (Cannery Row - John Steinbeck):
"Cannery Row is a book without much of a plot. Rather, it is an attempt to capture the feeling and people of a place, the cannery district of Monterey, California, which is populated by a mix of those down on their luck and those who choose for other reasons not to live "up the hill" in the more respectable area of town."
Other options we voted on:
