Discussion Group - Red Tent Book Discussion Group
Our
book discussion group has about 10 to 12 core members, but other people do occasionally
attend. We read both fiction and non-fiction, and choose the books by consensus,
although everyone is encouraged to suggest titles. There is no formal pattern to
the discussion, and new participants are welcome.
The group normally meets on the first Saturday of each month at 10 a.m. Members take turns hosting the discussions at their homes, but nobody should feel obliged to host.
