Recent Books
Selections by the Book Committee
for shelves of the Book Club at Back
Mountain Memorial Library, include
a book which is condensed in the
June issue of Readers Digest, “Of
Whales and Men.” Fascinating
enough in its shortened version, it is
extremely readable in the original,
with more action in it than a novel.
It bears out that old saying, “Truth
is stranger than Fiction.”
Other non-fiction books are:
“Laughter on the Stairs,” by Beverly
Nichols; “Born on Snowshoes,” by
Evelyn Berglund Shore, a story of
the Artic; “Minutes of the Last
Meeting,” Gene Fowler; “The Gentle
House,” Anna Perrott Rose.
“I was a House Detective,” by
Dev. Collans, completes the non-
fiction list. Guests don’s get away
with a thing. That towel in your
suitcase, wrapped around your wet
shaving brush, appears on your bill
whether you know it or mot. And if
you don’t lock your door you're
asking for trouble.
