Each month, we select a book to read and meet on the third Tuesday of the month to discuss our thoughts. 

October's selection is Martyr! by Kaveh Akbar.

From the publisher: "Kaveh Akbar’s Martyr! is a paean to how we spend our lives seeking meaning—in faith, art, ourselves, others."

This club is currently held as a hybrid meeting. Those who wish to attend online should register, and will receive the Zoom link in an email before the meeting.

Join us to read and discuss this month's selection!
