Skinny Books is a lively, thoughtful book club that reads and discusses fiction around 200 pages or less.  These books are small but mighty in their presentation of great moral dilemmas, plot twists, memorable characters and ideas that beg for conversation; they will WOW you with the depth of their meaning and the precision of their language. 

Even if you are already in a book club, you could squeeze this one in. 
Meetings take place the first Wednesday of the month from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at Prairie Path Books (255 Town Square Wheaton). 

Contact Carrie at carrie@prairiepathbooks.com with questions or to join for one book or all. 15% off the selections, just let us know you'll be attending. 

Siddhartha

In the novel, Siddhartha, a young man, leaves his family for a contemplative life, then, restless, discards it for one of the flesh. He conceives a son, but bored and sickened by lust and greed, moves on again. Near dispair, Siddhartha comes to a river where he hears a unique sound. This sound signals the true beginning of life - the beginning of suffering, rejection, peace and, finally, wisdom.
