We'll discuss "The Book of Charlie: Wisdom from the Remarkable American Life of a 109-Year-Old Man" by David Von Drehle. Books are available at the Ask Us Desk one month before each discussion.

When a veteran Washington journalist moved to Kansas, he met a new neighbor who was more than a century old. Little did he know that he was beginning a long friendship—and a profound lesson in the meaning of life. The history that unfolds through Charlie’s story reminds you that the United States has always been a divided nation, a questing nation, an inventive nation—a nation of Charlies in the rollercoaster pursuit of a good and meaningful life. ~Goodreads
