Please leave a comment if you'd be up for leading a discussion or bringing a treat. We typically meet on the 3rd Thursday at 7:30 at the Gramercy apartments, but if you are leading the discussion you can change the time and place. And thanks to sparknotes.com, you can lead a discussion even if you don't get around to reading both books (shhh...).

Reading Room Open House at the Library of Congress
The main reading room at the Library of Congress will be open to the public on Monday, Oct. 11th from 10am-3pm. If you've never been to the LOC you should put it on your to-do list, and this would be a great day to do it.
