The majority of Book Discussion Group attendees enjoyed reading Willa Cather's novel, "My Antonia".

Discussion topics included:

• The author's writing style & use of language.
• The historical accuracy of how the mid-west was portrayed during the late 1800's.
• The main characters (Antonia, Jim, etc...).
• What the author did not tell us and the questions left unanswered.
• And other interesting topics that came to people's minds while reading the novel!
