UU Book Group

The Book Group met on Sunday, July 11 for our Annual Potluck Picnic and to choose our readings for the upcoming year.  From a variety of excellent nominations we managed to settle on the 9 books listed below.  As noted, the choices favor non-fiction (NF) over fiction (F).  We generally meet on the 2nd Sunday of the month (3rd Sunday in May) except August and December. You are welcome to join us to discuss any or all of these books.  Questions? Contact Brian Larson or see me at Church.
