Book Club
The Summit UU Book Club meets the first Tuesday of every month at 7:00 p.m. We are currently meeting on Zoom (See Debbie Wingard for link).
We are an informal group with no facilitator. We presently have about 12 active members, although people come and go all the time. Once a year, we select our list of books to read for the coming year. Each member presents two selections, and the group votes on which book they’d like to read.
Because our tastes in books varies, our selections are diverse. We are very eclectic. We tend toward fiction, but we’ve read a lot of nonfiction also – biographies and accounts of historical events. We read both the classics and the current best sellers. The Book Club always welcomes diversity in its selections. Every book discussion has something of interest.
The Summit Book Club is an open group and invites new readers any time.
If you haven’t read the book but just want to listen in, that’s fine.
The current month’s Book Club book is in the eNews and Scene at Summit Newsletter.
Please feel free to join us. If you have any questions, contact Cheryl Smreck, csmreck@outlook.com.
