  MUNTINGTINIG: Dates for the May to October meetings
Apologies for duplicate postings.
Please forward widely.


Hi all!

People have wondered. They've checked the Web site. People have asked, "What happened to your book club?"

But we're back!

Muntingting book club went on a monthlong hiatus because of a conflict in schedule for several members. Now, we've picked a series of books to keep us going for the next five months: The well-renowned Rosales Saga, by F. Sionil Jose.

Starting out with Carlos Bulosan's seminal America is in the Heart, the book club also plans to read Philippine national hero Jose P. Rizal's Noli me Tangere and El Filibusterismo, Ninotchka Rosca's State of War, Jessica Hagedorn's Dogeaters, and Bino Realuyo's Umbrella Country. We will discuss the books in Filipino-owned restaurants in the Chicago area.

Here are the dates and titles. Please note that Saturday, July 22 and August 19 will start earlier than 6:30 p.m. to accomodate the venue's hours open.

Any questions, please email Yvonne, yhortil5@yahoo.com or Anna, anna_m_rosete@yahoo.com.

Thank you to all of you who asked, it means that this is a needed organization in our community.

See you on the 20th!
