Bonanza! Non-Fiction Book Group

Do you like high-brow conversation? Then our group is not for you. We are a small, informal, non-fiction book group who meet roughly every couple of weeks and (in theory) discuss one book a month. Although a lot of it is just drinking beer. Non-fiction does in fact cover loads of topics - not just science!!! Virtually anything goes, from biographies to wars, or psychology to herpetology (just joking about the psychology). We meet every second Tuesday around 20h00 in the Blue Blazer on Spittal Street (near the Odeon on Lothian Road, and conveniently close to Edinburgh's best remote-controlled toy shop). We try and to have some books on the table so you'll know who we are, in case you want to call the police. Have a look at our recent book choices at http://www.meetup.com/Bonanza-Non-Fiction-B...
