What we’re about
Do you love to read thought provoking books? Does the thought of discussing them over a glass of fine wine fill you with joy and a sense that all is right with the world? Well we may be the group for you!
We are a welcoming group of individuals who meet each month to discuss, debate, laugh and share meaningful insights about our book of the month. Our members submit intriguing fictional and non-fictional book suggestions (recent releases as well as an occasional classic ) and new members often comment on how much they love our lineup. We also try to do a monthly social get together to promote friendship within the group. The people who join are bright, witty and have so many insights to share that it's a shame to limit our get togethers to just the book club.
Our meetup place of choice is Roberto's Ristorante at 483 Spring Rd. in Elmhurst. The wine, the small plates and the atmosphere, along with our monthly book discussions are truly to be savored.
We look forward to having new members join us!
