    The books we discuss which are recommended by group members may be on any subject, whether fiction or non-fiction. The discussions, led by a group member, will focus on the theme, character development and quality of writing.

    Books Selections

    March 14 - Giannis -- The improbable rise of an NBA champion --by Mirin Fader

    May 9 - American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins. A very well regarded book that became controversial because the subject was a Latina but the author was not.
