Salutations!

 

Happy May Day!  We’re kicking off the month with a new events series –with music!-  that will last until autumn.  And at the end of the month we partake in the first of our bi-annual Sidewalk Sales.  Could that mean it’s summer already?!

 

First Fridays

Larchmere Boulevard is pleased to present a series of First Friday events from May until October.  Shops will be open until 9pm, and restaurants will be open until midnight.  So come join us, night owls, for a night on the Boulevard!  Many merchants will be celebrating with special offerings; at Loganberry Books, we'll be celebrating with live music (and a lot of books).

Stump the Bookseller  Selection of the month

Description: stump.jpgT555: Two tribes of tiny human like creatures
I used to read this book in my local library as a child around 1993. It was a fantasy fiction with these great illustrations that were so detailed and full of activity. The image I remember is of these two tribes of tiny human like creatures in a forest setting, one tribe in red the other in blue..

Classics Club
Milan Kundera: The Unbearable Lightness of Being
Thursday, May 24, 7 p.m.

~ fourth Thursdays ~
A young woman is in love with a successful surgeon, a man torn between his love for her and his incorrigible womanizing. His mistress, a free-spirited artist, lives her life as a series of betrayals--while her other lover, earnest, faithful, and good, stands to lose everything because of his noble qualities. In a world where lives are shaped by irrevocable choices and fortuitous events, and everything occurs but once, existence seems to lose its substance, its weight. Hence we feel "the unbearable lightness of being." A major achievement from one of the world's truly great writers, Milan Kundera's magnificent novel of passion and politics, infidelity and ideas, encompasses the extremes of comedy and tragedy, illuminating all aspects of human existence.  Hope to see you for the discussion!
