Beers and Books
Ned is starting up a "Beers and Books" night at McGeary's. The first selection: The Unnamed by Joshua Ferris. He writes: "Think back to a time when everyone was reading the same book without the need of a book club (which this is not) and it was something that was spoken about at cocktail parties." Also: "for those of you who are single, think about it this way, if they are going to be here, you know that they like beer ... and that they are able to read ... I think that may be the foundation for a relationship that eHarmony would be jealous of."

Thank you for mentioning this!
My hope that there will be enough interest that it becomes a regular thing.

I picked that book up from the library last week - at least the readers can wallow in their cups together instead of alone with that depressing book!

@Kim D It's not a book club because I am not looking to be the moderator and I don't like the idea of the whole speak your point, someone else speaks and the conversation moves in a linear fashion.
I want it to be more like a cocktail party with the theme that people have read, or have attempted to read, or at least rented or purchased, the book.
