CCC Book Club
The CCC Book Club is friendly, informal and open to
all. At club meetings, the group explored a wide variety of books and
interests -- fiction and non-fiction, male and female authors,
selections old and new. The reading list is determined list by a
democratic process in which members of the club promote a book of
their choosing for addition to the list.
At some meetings, a volunteer might lead the
discussion, or the discussion might be more self-directed. Everyone is
free to join in -- and members are not shy in expressing their thoughts,
which we encourage! And since meeting is so fun, the group always meets.
