August Selection - The Truth About Lies: The Illusion of Honesty and the Evolution of Deceit by Aja Raden
Buttressed by history, psychology, and science, The Truth About Lies is both an eye-opening primer on con-artistry―from pyramid schemes to shell games, forgery to hoaxes―and also a telescopic view of society through the mechanics of belief: why we lie, why we believe, and how, if at all, the acts differ. Through wild tales of cons and marks, Raden examines not only how lies actually work, but also why they work, from the evolutionary function of deception to what it reveals about our own.

Welcome to our robust and engaging Book Club! We're a small, friendly group dedicated to fostering lively discussions about our monthly book selections. Whether you've read the entire book, just a few chapters, or even if you're simply curious about the title, we'd love to have you join us!

Book Selection: We encourage active participation in choosing our reading material. During each meeting, members have the opportunity to suggest and vote on the next book. Feel free to post your book recommendations in the comments section as well - we're always excited to explore new literary adventures!

Meeting Schedule: We gather on the First Tuesday of every month for our book discussions.
What sets us apart is our small group size and directed discussions. This intimate setting allows for deeper, more engaging conversations where everyone's voice can be heard. It's the perfect environment for those who love to dive deep into themes, characters, and the intricacies of storytelling.

So whether you're a seasoned bookworm or just dipping your toes into the world of literature, we invite you to join us. Let's explore new worlds, challenge our perspectives, and forge new friendships - one book at a time!
