Ex Libris: A Book Club with Brains
|
Let's talk books. We will meet up monthly to discuss the current book at various locations in and around the Hollywood/Ft. Lauderdale area. This book club is not intended for fluff; we want good reads, quality reads, thought-provoking reads. Fiction, non-fiction, new, classic, all are welcome. Each month, we will chose a different member to choose a new book to read. Then we'll meetup and discuss it. All are welcome to join.

Our next meeting:
Ex Libris: A Book Club with Brains May Meeting
This month we will be discussing Upton Sinclair's 1906 classic, The Jungle.
This muckracking masterpiece stands as one of America's greatest indictments of persecution. It tells the story of Jurgus Rudkus, Lithuanian immigrant who, in hopes of finding the American Dream, is instead faced with a brutal, soul crushing urban jungle dominated by greedy bosses, pitiless conmen, and corrupt politicians.
Hope to see you there!!!
