Let's Read!

Do you like to read? Would you like to discuss your favorite authors with others in Southeast Oklahoma? Well, there is a book club designed with you in mind. This book club is online and is a service provided for you by the McAlester Public Library. You do not need to be a member of the library to participate. The online club is free and open to the public. From the comfort of your home or office you can join the club, read the books and post your comments and discussion questions any time of the day, any day of the week. This club is created for convenience. Mothers with small children, senior citizens and busy executives all have difficulty finding a time to get to another meeting. So, we have made it easy for you bibliophiles! All you need to do is go to http://www.booksprouts.com and join. Our club is called Oklahoma Readers. Once you join the club, you can nominate books for discussion, and vote on books already nominated. When the group completes the voting, each person is responsible for getting the book and reading it. Most of the selections will be available at your library. Others you may have to purchase or borrow from friends. Your personal information is kept private. You will create a nickname for yourself to use online. Of course, if you want to let everyone know your name, that is absolutely fine too. Please join us and invite your friends!

About the Author

Robert Crais, the New York Times-bestselling author who sets the standard for intense, powerful crime-writing, reads from and discusses his new novel The First Rule, a blistering thriller featuring Joe Pike and Elvis Cole. This astonishing novel finds Pike and Cole on an investigation that quickly entangles them both in a web of ancient grudges, blood ties, blackmail, vengeance, double crosses, and cutthroat criminality, and at the heart of it, an act so terrible even Pike and Cole have no way to measure it.
