About us
Calling all curious minds interested in exploring new perspectives and discussing literary classics or thought-provoking new ideas in non-fiction. Let's explore the thoughts of authors across time and geographical space. Books are introduced by questions just to get conversation rolling.
We'll meet during the week for dinner or on the weekend for coffee. Events will be planned in advance so that we all have time to read, and there will be polls to choose future books. Suggestions for books, restaurants, and cafes you would like to try are welcome.
Bring your appetite for reading and discussions in good company with good food, and I hope to welcome you in the coming months!
Please update your RSVP as early as possible so that someone else on the waitlist can attend.

book and film discussion: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Location not specified yetOne Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1976, director Milos Forman) and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1962, author Ken Kesey)
We'll be discussing both the film and the book.One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest curiously is included on many best-loved lists from Time magazine to the BBC, yet also has been subject to at least seven bans in US public schools. Set in an Oregon psychiatric hospital, both the film and the book critique institutional processes to control people and the possible dangers of psychology in pathologizing human individuality and range of experiences as illnesses. The film version is one of only three films to have won the so-called "Big Five" Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Screenplay. While Ken Kesey hated the film, director Akita Kurosawa listed it as one of his hundred favorite films.
