Director of Dothan Houston County Library Systems Chris Warren joined us for another installment of Chapter Chat. Learn about his favorite book here!
For this month’s Chapter Chat, director of the DHCLS Chris Warren brought a book that has a special place on his bookshelf:“This is my favorite book of all time,” Warren said. “This is the only book I’ve read more than twice.”has two stories that overlap. One follows Lena Grove, a young, pregnant woman who is walking across the Alabama countryside looking for the father of her child. The other character is Joe Christmas, a half-black, half-white man trying to find his place in society.
Warren encourages readers not to be intimidated by classics. Although Faulkner is a big-name author, many of his novels are accessible. Light in August, Warren said, is a character-driven story that will pull you along that narrative. When asked what people can take away from this book, Warren said “A lot about family, a lot about faith. There’s a lot going on in this novel.”
DHCLS’s summer reading program just wrapped up and they had about 1800 people participate. Even if you missed the program, the library still has a lot to offer as they gear up for their fall events. They’ll be hosting book discussion groups, writing workshops, and a Mini Golf Classic.
