Future selections:
12.16.14 - The Confidence-Man, by Herman Melville
Eden Prairie Book Club
Wednesday, September 24, 2014
Next meeting: December 16, 2014 @ 7 PM
The club meets the fourth Tuesday of each month, though occasionally we choose a different Tuesday to accommodate members' schedules. (The correct date will always appear here, weeks in advance of the meeting.)
Our meetings last one hour--and take place at the Smith Douglas More House Dunn Bros located here. You're most welcome to join us, whether or not you've read the selection--though you're encouraged to do so. Attending once in no way requires you to attend again; feel free to give the group a try as often as you like.
Email me if you have any questions.

Please join us for the next meeting of the Eden Prairie Book Club, where we'll discuss The Confidence-Man, by Herman Melville. The December 16 meeting will take place at the Dunn Brothers on Eden Prairie Rd. Look for the table with the Iraqi flag on it (inspired by the club's first selection). We have the smaller upstairs private room reserved.
