Friday Book Group

“Read the good books first, or you may not have a chance to read them all.” – Thoreau

When: Fridays from 10-11:30am, Lower Meeting House, Room A and on Zoom

We meet weekly and read both fiction and non-fiction books chosen by the participants. Each book is read and discussed over a period of several meetings, with the reading for each determined by the group.

This past Friday, Sept 15, we had another strong turnout for our journey with Moby-Dick.
We took some time at the start of the meeting to review & discuss some new ‘Guidelines’ for Book Group discussions in order to make some improvements and to help ensure all participants got a chance to be heard. We instituted a suggestion to begin with a “round-robin” discussion for those who wished to share a brief note about something that stood out for them from the reading, for potential further discussion.
 
Next Friday, on Sept 22, we continue with Moby-Dick by reading through chapter 49 which is titled “The Hyena”.

The Friday Book Group meets weekly; we read both fiction and non-fiction books chosen by the participants. Each book is read and discussed over a period of several meetings, with the reading for each determined by the group.

Feel free to join us for this, even just to listen in on the discussion – summaries of discussion to date are available. We meet in the Lower Meetinghouse, and currently we are doing hybrid meetings for those who need/want to join by Zoom at: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87043885100
