The Intergenerational Book Group of the Unitarian Church of Evanston

Our club is truly intergenerational. It was started by a 9-year-old and a 67-year-old who shared a love of reading. The group has been meeting about every other month for more than two years.

One of our favorite books was "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. It presented a unique viewpoint on the Holocaust in the unexpected narrator and the lives of poor German citizens, some of whom found the courage to quietly rebel.

Some of us didn't like "The Magician's Elephant" by Kate DiCamillo. We thought it a little too predictable and formulaic.

We read "Dark Life" by fellow church member Kat Falls. She attended our discussion and talked to us about her writing.

Authors we'd like to meet: J.K. Rowling, Eva Ibbotson, Gennifer Choldenko and Gary Paulsen.

Four of our favorite books: "Island of the Aunts" by Ibbotson, "The Penderwicks" series by Jeanne Birdsall, "Stargirl" by Jerry Spinelli and "Al Capone Does My Shirts" by Choldenko.

Our next book: Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird."
