Discussions take place Thursdays, from 12 noon to 1 p.m., in the Latham Library Community Room, and begin with a voluntary potluck lunch featuring dishes inspired by the book selection. 2026 – 2027 Schedule October 22 – Everything I Learned, I Learned in a Chinese Restaurant by Curtis Chin November 19 – Butter by Asako Yuzuki December 10 – The Hundred-Foot Journey – film January 21 – With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo February 18 – French Lessons by Peter Mayle March 18 – What I Ate in One Year by Stanley Tucci

The next meeting of Thetford’s informal nonfiction book discussion group will take place at Latham Library on Thetford Hill on Tuesday November 24th at 12 noon. Title for discussion: One Day: The Extraordinary Story of an Ordinary 24 Hours in America by Gene Weingarten. On New Year’s Day 2013, two-time Pulitzer Prize–winner Gene Weingarten asked three strangers to, literally, pluck a day, month, and year from a hat. That day—chosen completely at random—turned out to be Sunday, December 28, 1986, by any conventional measure a most ordinary day. Weingarten spent the next six years proving that there is no such thing. All are welcome and we look forward to seeing you.
