I am in the process of having my Web person build a new site with Word Press. He tells me that Contribute, which I have been using for four years, is out of date and not working properly anymore. Nevertheless, if you scroll down on this page, you will find the list of the books for the Fall session as well as those we have read in past sessions with their links intact. I have not posted material for the first book, The Tiger's Wife, yet but will do so this week. I will continue using this Web site, powered by Contribute, until the new one is up and running.

The nice thing about Word Press, the computer guru tells me, is that anyone,to whom I give permission, can post about the books we read. On the new Web site, I also will be including information about the editing work I do.

Looking forward to seeing you all in September.. Harriet
