What we’re about
This is a group for anyone interested in getting together to discuss a non-fiction book in a friendly social but yet investigative manner. I am suggesting that about once a month that we would get together and discuss a book that we had read and then choose a new book to read in preparation of the next meet up. I am thinking that we would read mostly best selling non-fiction, but that the actual books will be chosen by the group, based on their interests.

First, I must apologize for my delay in getting the next Book Club Meeting organized. The last Book Club Meeting was on June 30th and all that I can say is “Sorry, but it’s been a busy summer”! I know that it sounds lame, but it’s all I’ve got. And, now continuing with the theme of busyness, I would like to introduce the next book.
The next book that the Saskatoon Book Club For Non Fiction Books - Coffee/Bar Group will be reading will be Astrophysics for People in a Hurry by Neil deGrasse Tyson. We will then be meeting at The Thirsty Scholar on 8th Street on Tuesday, October 1, 2024 at 7:30 PM to discuss this book.
What is the nature of space and time? How do we fit within the universe? How does the universe fit within us? The author of this book guides us through these questions because few of us have time to contemplate the cosmos. So Tyson brings the universe down to Earth succinctly and clearly, with sparkling wit, in tasty chapters consumable anytime and anywhere in your busy day. While you wait for your morning coffee to brew, for the bus, the train, or a plane to arrive, Astrophysics for People in a Hurry will reveal just what you need to be fluent and ready for the next cosmic headlines: from the Big Bang to black holes, from quarks to quantum mechanics, and from the search for planets to the search for life in the universe.
I hope you can make it to this meetup on Oct 1/24. If you are planning to attend, but haven’t yet RSVPed “Yes” for this Meetup, then I would appreciate if you could click the “Attend” button to let us know how many seats to save.
I look forward to seeing you then,
Thomas
