Literary Pairings Book Discussion Group In-Person
Literary Pairings Book Discussion Group generally meets in person on the second Wednesday of the month from 7 to 8:30 pm from September through June, unless otherwise noted. Some meetings may be on Zoom, depending on the weather. Participants will read an assigned classic one month followed by a contemporary read-alike similar in theme, plot and/or characters the following month.
