H – The Novel Reading Group

LINEC’s popular novel group is currently reading books selected from Britain’s prestigious Booker Prize lists. The group meets on the first Wednesday of each month, and new members are always welcome. The class meets informally around a table in the Henniker Library, sharing their reactions to the works selected and connecting their themes to issues in our lives and world today. The October selection is Anne Enright’s The Gathering (2007), a novel about how we learn to live with the past. November’s selection is Ian McEwan’s Amsterdam (1998), the story of a suicide pact between two friends.

John McCausland has taught LINEC courses on the Bible, Chaucer, and the American novel. An Episcopal priest and one-time lawyer, he loves history, literature, theology, teaching, and learning.
