At our October meeting we will continue our Autumnal reading of The Four Faultless Felons. This book can be purchased from the Society of Gilbert Keith Chesterton, and is available from a variety of internet sources, both new and used.
We’ll be discussing this book throughout the fall months. In September we discussed the sections “The Prologue of the Pressman” and the six chapters for “The Moderate Murderer”.
For this Friday's meeting, we will discuss the next "felon", "The Honest Quack". Reading the selections ahead of the meeting is warmly recommended.
*For those who missed last month's meeting, please note: Recently, astute group member Grettelyn Darkey, pointed out that there were a large number of "spoilers" in the introduction of the particular edition of 4FF that she had purchased. I pass this information along to serve as an ALERT. You do not need to read the introduction... in fact, if you have the edition with a lengthy introduction by Martin Gardener, I would strongly recommend against reading the introduction! If you would like a warmup before jumping onto the stories, this short overview from Dale Ahlquist is a nice alternative, and it offers insights... certainly not anything that would spoil the reading of Chesterton. Otherwise, skip the intro and dive right into Chesterton's Prologue of the Pressman.
As usual our WPACS meeting will be held in the Village of Middle Lancaster, at the Lancaster Township Community Center located on Kings Alley and Community Center Drive, in Butler County PA. Kings Ally is a right turn off of Rt. 19N, approx. 4.5 miles north of Zelienople, just past the Zion Lutheran Church. (The Community Center is a former one room school house, adjacent to the ball fields at Bauder Park.)
The doors will open at 7:00 pm for our usual potluck of refreshments, with the discussion beginning at 7:30. The meeting will wrap up sometime around 9:30 pm.
