Swedish Reading Club at Schuler Books (3165 Alpine NW): The Pyramid (Pyramiden) by Henning Mankell
7 PM
Buy the book from Schuler or another independent bookseller
In April the book club will discuss The Pyramid by Henning Mankell. This book is part of Mankell's Kurt Wallander mystery series but consists of five short stories rather than a single novel. Although Mankell wrote The Pyramid fairly late in the mystery series, after the eighth novel, the events depicted take us back to a period preceding the first novel in terms of Wallander's career. We see him solving his first case while still a uniformed patrolman being mentored by his role model, Hemberg, and courting and marrying his wife Mona. In a review, Booklist raved, "Mankell proves himself a master of the short form... essential reading for all crime-fiction fans."

Women's Group: Flitiga Lisor
Flitiga Lisor är en grupp kvinnliga, svensktalande medlemmar som träffas ungefär en gång i månaden. Gruppen startades under hösten 2003, då vi träffades regelbundet för att tillverka julsaker att sälja på Lucia. Det lyckades bra och förtjänsten gick till SAHS. När vi inte känner för att vara så flitiga, träffas vi bara för att prata och fika.
Flitiga Lisor is a group of Swedish speaking women that meets once a month or so. It began during the fall of 2003 when we got together to make Christmas crafts to sell at the Lucia celebration. The project was a success and the money earned went to SAHS. When we feel less inclined to work we get together to have coffee and speak Swedish.
