Our next meeting:
The May Meetup - The Abstinence Teacher
Howdy Folks!
We are heading back to Honey's for our meetup this month. This location was fantastic for our April meetup, and should serve us well for this month. The food at this little BYO is good and cheap, the music is just right, and the service is great. With that our book for this month is The Abstinence Teacher, by Tom Perrotta. This book was on many best books of the year lists for 2007. Read more
