Meet other local readers to read and discuss the great classics of literature. We will read and ponder "great" books but will not limit ourselves to those in the "canon".

You also need to have aphoto of yourself (no dogs, cats, boats, monuments, etc.) attached to your profile. We no longer allow members without photos.   Other than that, feel free to join!
