December's Book Club Meeting: A Country Doctor's Notebook by Mikhail Bulgakov

The Globe Pub invites anyone and everyone to join our beer and book club. Our goal is to bring people together over books and beer to make new friends. Join us on the First Thursday of every month. Start time is 7pm.

December's book is "A Country Doctor's Notebook" by Mikhail Bulgakov. Here is a brief synopsis:

With the ink still wet on his diploma, the twenty-five-year-old Dr. Mikhail Bulgakov was flung into the depths of freezing rural Russia which, in 1916-17, was still largely unaffected by such novelties as the motor car, the telephone or electric light. How his alter-ego copes (or fails to cope) with the new and often appalling responsibilities of a lone doctor in a vast country practice — on the eve of Revolution — is described in Bulgakov's delightful blend of candid realism and imaginative exuberance.
