If you made a resolution to read more, and don’t particularly care for novels, then we have the book club for you: Stranger Than Fiction Book Club (STFBC) has been around for about a year and a half and we are rapidly expanding the type of non-fiction we are reading to include cultural studies, memoirs and true crime, which is in addition to science, business and psychology. Basically, if it really happened and it’s told in a fascinating manor then we want to read about it.
We have the next couple of months planned out…
On Febraruy 16th we will be discussing Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon by David Grann
On March 16th we will be discussing The Bicycle Diaries by David Byrne (Apparently men named David know how to write stories about faraway places….)
On April 20th we will be discussing The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. We are excited about this one as it will be fresh in paperback and has been on our reading list for a while.
STFBC meets the 3rd Wednesday of the month at 7pm in the BookPeople Coffeeshop and is open to the public. There are some countries where it is very common to find a lively discussion going on in a meeting spot like a cafe and we would like to bring that atmosphere here to BookPeople. Interested? Sign up on our Facebook page (Stranger Than Fiction Book Club) or simply show up and look for Megan and Cindy. Don’t forget that our events are also posted in the Independent (copies available in the store) and at bookpeople.com. We look forward to meeting you!
