Rice Readers marks five years

The Rice Readers gathered last month to celebrate five years of
enjoying books and discussing them over lunch. The group has read 53
books since its inception in May 2005. Elizabeth Long, chair and
professor of sociology and author of “Book Clubs: Women and the Uses of
Reading in Everyday Life,” was the guest speaker and shared what she
learned and observed in her studies of book clubs. Pictured are, front

Brenda Watt and Shirley Tapscott. Back row, from left: Ginny Martin,
Martha Broussard, Adele James, Marie Monroe, Joanne Carpenter, Joyce
Bald and Elise McCutchen. The Rice Readers will gather again at noon
May 26 in Brochstein Pavilion to discuss this month’s book selection,
“Animal Dreams” by Barbara Kingsolver.
