HI, I'm interested, maybe, in the book group--the book sounds interesting, if maybe a little Norwegian somber. My main questions are: in what area of the county will the group take place, and how large will the group be (so far)? Tues would be a good day for me and 6:30 sounds like an ideal time. Thanks

Please note: Our intention is to dive into the group with some basic structure without spending too much time on the particulars so we are free to make changes along the way. It is our priority to make the location and the book selections work for all serious about participating, whether this means carpooling, selecting titles available at the library, sharing books, rotating locations, etc.
