About this event
**We'll meet once a month in person and maybe create an online opportunity down the line. Using the Pop Chart 100 Essential Novels scratch-off poster, we'll read and chat about books from 1605 to 2019. It's a list (viewable online) of the classics, some international, that’s split well between the genders. The selections skew towards the vibrant and creative, with a very limited number of large or challenging novels (those are for another poster). For October, we’ll meet the 14th (instead of the 21st) so that we’ll have had four weeks to read the novel “Frankenstein” by Mary Shelley, a title in the Halloween spirit. We'll enjoy Spindrift and light snacks. I'll bring a physical copy of the Essential Novels scratch-off poster and display it on screen too, plus we’ll vote on the next book! Large Community Room A this time. See you there : )**
