SUMMER MEETING
EXHIBIT, AFTERNOON TEA, "FLASH BOOK CLUB"
Jane Austen Society of North America

Regional Coordinator: Carol Pippen, 205 Charmuth Road, Timonium, MD 21093
Miss Bingley’s attention was quite as much engaged in watching Mr. Darcy’s progress through his book as in reading her own; and she was perpetually either making some inquiry, or looking at his page. She could not win him, however, to any conversation; he merely answered her question, and read on.
You are cordially invited to join us for lots of conversation about books.
When: Saturday, July 20, 2013, at Noon
Where: Goucher College Library, the Athenaeum
Featuring: Pride and Prejudice: A 200 Year Affair, a special exhibit
Plus an exclusive peek inside the Alberta and Henry Burke Jane Austen
Collection,part of the Goucher Library’s Special Collections & Archives
Followed by: Afternoon Tea (Menu below)
Program: “A Flash Book Club” of books influenced by Jane Austen’s writing
"I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book!"
Jane Austen inspired countless writers to set pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard). The results - from documented and scholarly tomes fit for a classroom to easy romantic romps perfect for the beach - bulge our bookshelves and cram our Kindles. But which are worth recommending to our friends and fellow Janeites? With your help, we can separate the wheat from the chaff, the Darcys from the Wickhams, etc.
Pick your favorite (or least favorite) Austen-inspired book and be prepared to give a brief review if you want to participate in the optional book club. Send your book preference title to reetsmail@comcast.net. We’ll make a list so we don’t have any repeats. First come, first served, so get your request in early. Details on how the “book club” will work will be provided on return email.
To reserve your place for tea, please return the portion below with your check, $27 per person, payable to JASNA Maryland, by July 8th to:
Karen Hornig, 1417 Battery Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21230
Questions? Email kshornig@aol.com or telephone 410-605-0408.
