Each month, we will choose a new book based upon the curiosities of group members. Selections can range from Steinbeck to Faulkner to Roth, and anything in between. Time period constrictions are not firm, so if there is a book you'd like to suggest, it is of course acceptable. The main objective of the group is to expand interests and knowledge, and hopefully foster interesting conversations with new friends.

The modern academic definition might be the study about how to think and know systematically and correctly,  by the proper use of logic, reason, and language--rigorous scientific and analytic philosophy.

We can meet at my house every time or we can trade off. I do not have music but we can get music. Who should join: violists, celloists, violinists who have skills enough to …
