Join us as we discuss Jonathan Safran Foer’s 2005 book, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Foer, who garnered attention with his novel Everything is Illuminated, once more takes a dark subject and works in offbeat humor. On the surface this is a story of a peculiar hero, nine-year-old Oskar Schell, as he goes on a quest through New York for the lock that fits with the key his father left behind after his untimely death in the September 11th attacks. On a deeper level it is a story of truth and love. | 10

Join us as we explore Kage Baker’s debut novel, In the Garden of Iden. Part time travel epic, part social commentary, this book explores themes of hypocrisy, xenophobia, and of course, love. When wise-cracking heroine Mendoza time travels from the 24th century back to 1553 on a company mission to collect endangered botanical samples she has no interest in the people of the past. But it isn’t long before she becomes torn between doing her job and following her heart. | 13
