Hi everyone! Join us in reading Still Alice by Lisa Genova for our fall book club selection!

This thought-provoking novel takes us on a journey through the life of Alice Howland, a renowned linguistics professor at Harvard, as she confronts the devastating diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's disease. Genova's compelling narrative delves into the heart-wrenching experience of Alice and her family as they navigate change, challenges, and unexpected moments of grace that come with this progressive illness. Through Alice's perspective, we gain insight into the loss and resilience that define her journey.

Discussions for the book will follow the reading schedule below:
- Read pages 1-100 by October 20 (until section titled "April 2004")
- Read pages 101-205 by November 3 (until section titled "November 2004")

Discussion questions for the sections above will be posted to Goodreads on the dates provided. Be sure to get your copy of the book and read through page 100 by October 20th to participate in our first discussion. We look forward to engaging with you all!
