SCI-FI & FANTASY BOOK CLUB

The Left Hand of Darkness

by Ursula K. Le Guin

Tuesday, January 7 at 6:00 pm

We're launching our new Sci-Fi & Fantasy Book Club with Ursula Le Guin's timeless classic. Embracing the aspects of psychology, society, and human emotion on an alien world, The Left Hand of Darkness stands as a landmark achievement in the annals of intellectual science fiction. Register here. Going forward, the group will meet every other month on the first Tuesday.

2ND TUESDAY BOOK DISCUSSION

Anxious People

by Frederik Backman

Tuesday, January 14 at 1:00 pm

An everyday apartment open house becomes the stage for Backman’s latest novel, when a bank robber bursts in and takes a group of strangers hostage. As the title hints, each member of the group bares his or her own anxieties, not just about the hostage situation, but about their individual lives. This novel hits the sweet spot between profoundly insightful and preposterously funny. Copies are now available.
