Join us if you are interested in broadening your horizons. We'll be reading fiction one month and non-fiction the next.

My husband is balder now, thanks to my love of classic fiction and my inability to keep quiet about it. In an effort to maintain marital peace (and perhaps to keep a few threads of hair attached to his poor head), I decided to start a book discussion group centered on classic novels. The purpose of the group, then, will be to dive into the worlds created by some of history's most famous authors: Steinbeck, Twain, Austin, Dostoevsky, and, of course, Dickens, just to name a few. If you also e …

Hello Graphic Bibliophiles! If you have already joined, thank you and WELCOME to the missing dimension! You won't regret it. If you haven't joined yet, I hope you do.  We have a good time.

Our Motto: "Assist, not assault!" We meet on the first and third Wednesdays each month at 7pm at Arrowhead Barnes & Noble and operate through cooperative critiquing.

Want to get intrigued? Let's read notable women writers of mystery, suspense/thriller, and detective/crime fiction, from the classic works of Agatha Christie to the "modern" novels of other well or perhaps lesser known authors. Then let's discuss each book we've read (and whatever else comes up!) during a monthly dinner. You can have a look at a list of the books we've read so far here (http://tinyurl.com/7vcw6eq).

The sad truth is that most people who call themselves Christian do not study the Bible regularly, extensively, deeply or independently. While sad, this fact is not necessarily surprising. Most people lead lives that are taken up with the business of living: going to work, raising children, cooking meals and mowing the lawn, all of which is important and good (Titus 3:14) When all that work is done they watch TV, go to movies or perhaps read popular novels. If they own a Bible, it may very well s …
