Book #139: August, September and October 2015 (Fiction) • Book Discussion Leader: Penelope
Go Set a Watchman is available as paperback, Kindle, hardcover or audible format. This is a 3-month discussion period so please join at any time.
A historic literary event: the publication of a newly discovered novel, the earliest known work from Harper Lee, the beloved, bestselling author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, To Kill a Mockingbird.

Demon-Haunted World: Science As a Candle in the Dark - by Carl Sagan with Ann Druyan
Book #136: February & March 2015 (Non-Fiction) • Discussion Leader: Penelope
We discussed this book in August of 2002 and decided to do Round 2!

Are we on the brink of a new Dark Age of irrationality and superstition? In this stirring, brilliantly argued book, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Dragons of Eden and Cosmos shows how scientific thinking can cut through prejudice and hysteria and uncover the truth, and how it is necessary to safeguard our democratic institutions and our technical civilization.

King Henry IV, Part 1 (Arden Shakespeare: Third Series) (Pt. 1) - by William Shakespeare
Book #135: December 2014 and January 2015 (Fiction) • Book Discussion Leader: Geo
Live chat with William Shakespeare!
King Henry IV is available for free online or in Kindle format either free or close to it. We're using the Arden Shakespeare but you can use whatever edition or version you like. This is a 2-month discussion period so please join at any time. Love Shakespeare? We'll probably soon have a forum dedicated solely to Shakespeare!
David Scott Kastan lucidly explores the remarkable richness and the ambitious design of King Henry IV Part 1 and shows how these complicate any easy sense of what kind of play it is.

The Big Questions: Philosophy - Simon Blackburn
Book #131: June, July & August 2014 (Non-Fiction) • Book Discussion Leader: Dexter
Buy the book as an Amazon.com Kindle download or as Hardcover and join the discussion! This is a 3-month discussion period so there is plenty of time to get involved.
What is the meaning of life? Am I free? Why is there something and not nothing? What do we really know? Is there such a thing as society? Can machines think? What is time? How can I deceive myself? Why be good? What fills up space? Can we truly understand each other? Why do things keep on keeping on? Are we rational? What am I? What are my rights? Is truth relative? Do we need God? What is human nature? What is beauty? Is death to be feared?
