We will discuss readings from the November 3 issue.

Schedule note: Because one of our sessions would have fallen on Thanksgiving Day (Nov 27), we have shifted that session to Dec 4, resulting in a three-week gap instead of our normal two weeks. All subsequent sessions are two weeks apart (Dec 18, Jan 1, Jan 15, Jan 29, etc.). All of this is reflected in our Meetup webpage's schedule.
