Van Etten Book Club
Van Etten's Book Club will meet November 20, 2026 at 12pm, to discuss The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. When Death has a story to tell, you listen. It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will become busier still. Liesel Meminger is a foster girl living outside of Munich, who scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can’t resist–books. With the help of her accordion-playing foster father, she learns to read and shares her stolen books with her neighbors during bombing raids as well as with the Jewish man hidden in her basement. Newcomers are always welcome to join Van Etten's book club!
