Book discussions are held the second Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m. at the Bordentown Library, East Union Street, in Bordentown City. In August the book is “Last Night at the Lobster” by Stewart O’Nan: “A poignant portrayal of lives that often go unnoticed. It’s four days before Christmas, and the last day of business for a Red Lobster restaurant not making its numbers near a fledgling mall in a no-name New England town. Manny, the manager, is stalwart in a job that is often thankless, now facing a snowstorm that shuts down the town.”
