Our
Book Group started in 1986, thirty years ago. Most of us come from the
neighborhood. Some of us now live out-of-state and come when in town. Our ages span twenty-five years. We read mostly award-winners and classics, sprinkled with biography and other non-fiction. We plan a getaway every spring, and sometimes we even go. We have met in the Berkshires, in New York City, in upstate NY, in Marin, in London, in Paris. Our only rule: the book has to be available in paperback, which is sometimes broken given the low cost of buying digital. Each September members are assigned a month to host, and switch if necessary. The host selects the book and provides some wine and goodies. We meet at 7:30 in the evening, share what's new, and then discuss the book. Eight members is optimal. 10-12 members seems to be about maximum for
us. Create your own book group, and let us know what you're
reading! See what we're reading now, under "members". View C. West Designs View Kenyon Street website Site Update: 1/5/2016 |
