September's Sci-Fi Book: A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter Miller

Join us for September's sci-fi book club meetup to discuss 'A Canticle for Leibowitz' by Walter M. Miller Jr.

Our meetings start loosely, hanging out with new and old friends while everyone arrives. After most people arrive, there are introductions and the main group discussion about the book. As that runs out of steam, everyone drifts into whatever groups and topics make them happy.

We are meeting at Koelbel Library. We have 'Meeting Room C' reserved, which is found at the back of the library's cafe. It has sofas, easy chairs, and a variety of tables with stools. This one is on Saturday, so the library cafe will be open for the first hour. "Light snacks and covered drinks" are also allowed in the space but alcohol is not. I usually bring one variety of small snacks and friends often bring more.

The library closes at 5 PM. There is a nice patio area to linger outside when the weather is nice. If there are a few people who would like to carry on after the library closes, there are many restaurants we can shift to.

September's book description:
A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller, Jr. (1959) - 368 pages

In the depths of the Utah desert, long after the Flame Deluge has scoured the earth clean, a monk of the Order of Saint Leibowitz has made a miraculous discovery: holy relics from the life of the great saint himself, including the blessed blueprint, the sacred shopping list, and the hallowed shrine of the Fallout Shelter. These artifacts could be the keys to mankind's salvation. But as the mystery unfolds, it is the search itself—for meaning, for truth, for love—that offers hope for humanity's rebirth from the ashes.
