We meet to discuss nonfiction books in a wide variety of genres--science, history, memoir, politics, and beyond! Members can suggest books at any time. We will vote monthly on three options and the top choice will become the next book for the following month.
Dues are $6 per year to cover the costs of organizing through Meetup.
