Friday, Sept. 16 at 4 p.m, the Carnegie Book Club will meet to discuss The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury. From Amazon.com: “In these eighteen startling tales…The Illustrated Man is a kaleidoscopic blending of magic, imagination, and truth—as exhilarating as interplanetary travel, as maddening as a walk in a million-year rain, and as comforting as simple, familiar rituals on the last night of the world.” Intrigued?
