FOLK Book Club meets Tuesday

Friends of the Libraries, Kona Book Club meets at 11 a.m. Tuesday on the Kailua-Kona Public Library lanai.

This month’s selection is “A Man Called Ove” by Frederik Backman.

People call him “the bitter neighbor from hell.” But must Ove be bitter just because he doesn’t walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time? This novel about the angry old man next door is a thoughtful exploration of the profound impact one life has on countless others.

The book club next meets in October to discuss “The Badass Librarians of Timbuktu” by Joshua Hammer.
