Book Group
Join us for monthly gatherings structured around interesting books and good conversation. Readings will mostly be a mix of contemporary and classic fiction. This principle is occasionally violated for a good biography or an engaging book of nonfiction which interests the group. The group meets from 8-10 p.m. on the third Monday of the month at 41 W. 72nd, Apt. 14A.
