ISC Bookclub

The ISC Bookclub has been meeting enthusiastically to discuss new and old books every few weeks, and help choose new books for the ISC. Some are enjoying reading Jackson’s Track by Carolyn Landon. The bookclub is also reviewing and selecting books for our Fiction collection. Every meeting we try have a topic focus but being a bookclub one discussion leads to another! 
Last week’s discussion was “The Book versus Movies”. Most concluded that the book is usually far better than the movie! However, then the discussion started re horror movies and what should and shouldn’t be shown, to fables and Grimm’s Fairy tales, to finally everyone watching Into the Woods….
As a result of this discussion I have added Into the Woods, some old horror movies as well as Tim Burton's movies to Clickview (Corpse Bride,Alice in Wonderland, 
Edward Scissorhands, The Nightmare before Christmas, Nosferatu and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein). What do you think about books versus movies? The ISC Bookclub would love to hear your views.
