We will be discussing the following book.
Misery, Stephen King, DB 26000.  
Best-selling author Paul Sheldon wakes up one morning drugged and in pain in an unfamiliar, secluded Colorado farmhouse. His captor, Annie Wilkes, an unbalanced ex-nurse, claims to be Paul’s number one fan, but is angered because her favorite character, Misery Chastain, was killed in Paul’s latest novel. Paul is forced to write a new novel which will resurrect Misery.

Future book readings for the next couple of months include the following.  Note:  all books are available on NLS BARD.

January 14
Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots, Deborah Feldman, (Gail Greenberg) DB74459. 
As a member of the strictly religious Satmar sect of Hasidic Judaism, Deborah Feldman grew up under a code of relentlessly enforced customs governing everything from what she could wear and to whom she could speak to what she was allowed to read. Yet in spite of her repressive upbringing, Deborah grew into an independent-minded young woman whose stolen moments reading about the empowered literary characters of Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott helped her to imagine an alternative way of life among the skyscrapers of Manhattan. Trapped as a teenager in a sexually and emotionally dysfunctional marriage to a man she barely knew, the tension between Deborah’s desires and her responsibilities as a good Satmar girl grew more explosive until she gave birth at nineteen and realized that, regardless of the obstacles, she would have to forge a path—for herself and her son—to happiness and freedom.
(9 hours, 51 minutes)

February 11
The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald, (Sandhya) DB16147. 
The glitter and recklessness of the Jazz Age is the backdrop for this novel about Jay Gatsby's desperate attempt to recapture the past, and along with it, the love of Daisy Buchanan. Amid extravagant parties at Gatsby's palatial estate, his neighbor narrates the story of his obsession with the American dream. 
(4 hours, 56 minutes)
