Young Professionals Book Club in the Grove
Tuesday, September 14, 7:30pm. We'll see you there!
Comment from a Book Club Member: "The Magicians is an urban fantasy novel that I found entertaining, suspensful and a little melancholy. I can't wait to discuss it at our book club meeting on Tuesday, September 14 at 7:30pm."
Quentin Coldwater is brilliant but miserable. He's a senior in high school, and a certifiable genius, but he's still secretly obsessed with a series of fantasy novels he read as a kid, about the adventures of five children in a magical land called Fillory. Compared to that, anything in his real life just seems gray and colorless.
Everything changes when Quentin finds himself unexpectedly admitted to a very secret, very exclusive college of magic in upstate New York, where he receives a thorough and rigorous education in the practice of modern sorcery. He also discovers all the other things people learn in college: friendship, love, sex, booze, and boredom. But something is still missing. Magic doesn't bring Quentin the happiness and adventure he thought it would.
Then, after graduation, he and his friends make a stunning discovery: Fillory is real.
The Magicians was published in August 2009 and was a New York Times bestseller.
