Join us for discussions on an eclectic mix of fiction and non-fiction books. We meet once a month - usually the evening of the third Thursday - at a member's home mid-Peninsula.

They are lively, informal, and respectful of everyone's view. Here are some books that we recently read: - "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley - "The Haunting of Hill House" by Sh …

I've recently developed a workshop called The Inner Meaning of Lord of the Rings. I'm adapting it as a youth workshop caller Life Lessons from Lord of the Rings. If you'd like to explore these ideas with me - that's what the group is about. I think any Lord of the Rings fan would get a lot out of this group.
