Hunter’s Classics Book Club
Hunter’s Classics Book ClubSecond Tuesday of the Month @ 7:00 p.m.
A little J.D. Salinger, a little Iris Murdoch, maybe some Olga Tokarczuk — some classics you know, some you may or may not be as familiar with. Hunter makes the selections (he can be controlling that way); all you have to do is read the book and show up.
Tuesday, September 10 – Trust, by Hernan Diaz
Tuesday, October 8 – Turn of the Screw, by Henry James
There might be beer — classic, of course.
