This group is a book club with a twist. It is a book club for writers. Why are some books popular? What makes them bestsellers? What can we as writers learn from these books?

Other events are scheduled as we think of them. Each month, we will chose a work of fiction and examine it from the perspective of a writer (an …

Jorge Luis Borges This is a meetup group for people who like to read, and be read to. Everyone is welcome!  Bring a passage or two that you like and recite it with the group, then we can tal …
