Reading And Movie Night Begins This Saturday

Our first reading and movie night of the year is set for this Saturday June 6th @ 6:30pm
The first movie will be "Night at the Museum"(1). I am also looking for some suggestions on a few books to read. Preferably some that will take an hour or less to read.
