Great Books in the Gold Country |
|
Since 2010 we have held annual Gold Country mini-retreats at Mercy Center, 535 Sacramento Street in Auburn, CA. As with the mini-retreats in San Francisco and Calistoga, this is a one-day event that combines discussion of a book with a screening of its film adaptation. There is a small charge, and lunch is provided.
The Gold Country mini-retreat will return on May 19, 2012. We will discuss parts I and II of David McCullough's Pulitzer-prize-winning biography of John Adams. After lunch there will be a screening of the first sections of the award-winning film adaptation starring Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney.

In previous years, the Gold Country Mini-Retreat has featured discussions of Longitude by Dava Sobel and Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt, along with their film adaptations.
