April 15: Thunderbolt Kid by Bill Bryson

Join us for a "blast from the past" discussion as Bill Bryson takes us through his childhood memoir of growing up in Iowa in the 1950's. Bryson paints a picture of pure Americana in the 50's. He recalls simpler times that leave a mark on us and make us look deeper at our present. We will meet at Peter H's humble abode.
