 The Book Discussion Group 
This group, which meets here once a month, on the 4th Saturday of the month at 10 AM, is graciously sponsored by the University Unitarian Universalist Society. EVERYONE is invited! We choose a book, or maybe more than one book on the same topic, a few months in advance. Participants may buy the book, get it from the library, or simply be interested in the topic. Many of the month's selection(s) will have information on this site with reviews, reader comments, and perhaps links to more information.
