Welcome Peninsula Young Professional Book Readers!
Special Note from Peggy: August 8th: I just got back into town after a 3 1/2 month absences. I will be setting up our book club meeting for September very soon!
Yes, Palo Alto is the heart of a thriving intellectual community centered around Stanford but are you feeling as though you are still in need of intellectual stimulation or simply pleasant, unpretentious conversation? Well, there is definitely a dearth of book clubs in our area and we hope to fill that void with this group.
GUYS WELCOME!
May book: "The Omnivore's Dilemma" Non fiction
June book: "The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao" Fiction
July book: "Why We Decide" Non Fiction
The Palo Alto Young (or "Young at Heart" )Professional Book Clubbers has been meeting since August 2007 and have read mostly contemporary fiction AND non-fiction addition to spice things up. Titles include Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, Middlesex, The House of the Spirits, The Devil's Highway, Outlier's, The Omnivore's Delimma, ect. We vote democratically and try to offer a variety of intellectually stimulating book choices.
We have mostly have held recent meetings in cafes, pubs and restaurants.
