Book club to read nonfiction Glen Rock Reads Nonfiction, a new book discussion group at the Glen Rock Public Library, will hold its inaugural meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 5 at 7:30 p.m. under the leadership of borough resident Jerry Lerner. The group’s first selection will be “Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex” by Mary Roach. Copies of the book are available at the reference desk. The “New Yorker” dubbed Roach the funniest science writer in the country. In tracing the history of sex research, Roach provides a balanced review of its quirkier aspects (e.g., sex machines and the effects of polyester pants on sexual activity in rats) with a primer on sexual function. The author flings wide the closed doors behind which the scientific study of coitus has traditionally been conducted. Roach details the careers of sex researchers Alfred Kinsey, William Masters and Virginia Johnson, Marie Bonaparte (Napoleon’s great-grand-niece), and others. This informal discussion group welcomes all interested area residents. For more information, call (201) 670-3970. The library is located at 315 Rock Road.

The September selection will be “The Daughter of Time” by Josephine Tey. All readers are invited to this informal discussion group where tea and cookies are served. Multiple copies are available at the reference desk. “The Daughter of Time,” a combination of the detective story and a work of history, has been selected as one of the top 100 mystery books of all time. Tey recreates one of history’s most infamous crimes: the killing of the Little Princes in the Tower. In the classic best-selling novel, Inspector Alan Grant of Scotland Yard, recuperating from a broken leg, becomes fascinated with a contemporary portrait of Richard III that bears no resemblance to the Wicked Uncle of history. Grant determines to find out once and for all, with the help of the British Museum and an American scholar, what kind of man Richard Plantagenet really was and to solve the murder.

Area residents are invited to view the film and join the discussion. There is no fee. Registration is not necessary. The programs will take place in the library’s lower level.
