Woven brightly, Daniel J. Matthews, Jr.  To: oconee@yahoogroups.com  From: ppriest@charter.net  Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2010 15:49:32 -0400  Subject: [oconee] October book: Frankenstein  Our October book for the discussion group sponsored by the Oconee  Democrats is fun (well, and sad, too): "Frankenstein."  Here's some info about the book below.  Thanks!  Pat Priest  P.S.

Go check it out in the Oconee County Library. Click on the links and order the book and I may actually see a few pennies someday out of your purchase. Subject: April book selection Hello!
