21. Leading Readers Down the Garden Path.

Author

Pearl, Nancy and Evans, Janet

Subjects
*GROUP reading, *GARDENING, *BOOKS & reading, *POETRY (Literary form)
Abstract

Although book groups are wildly popular, there's a predictable ho-hum sameness about most reading choices, which tend to be recently published fiction aimed at a female audience and set in contemporary America. For a change of pace, you might want to consider reading thematically. Naturally, our clientele are avid gardeners, so our picks, both fiction and nonfiction, deal with plants, gardens, or the land. The following selections--a hybrid of novels, short stories, poetry, plays, essays, and memoirs--can be happily read both by gardeners and by those who will never pick up a trowel. 'Second Nature: A Gardener's Education,' by Michael Pollan; 'Selected Tales and Sketches,' by Nathaniel Hawthorne; 'New and Selected Poems,' by Mary Oliver.
