Book to read are chosen at the previous month's meeting.

Hey there. I'm hoping this book club will fill a gap that's missing in the local book club scene. I really enjoy reading books that are engaging and leave me feeling like I've learned something.

People - personal stories, psychology, sociology, anthropology Places - geography, culture, urban planning Perspectives - how ot …

Wilson, Carl Sagan, and Rachel Carson among others. There are many of these that have been on my "to-do" list for a long time. Of course other science teachers would be great for this gro …
