New Book Started September 5

The Wisdom Seekers Book Group will be starting a new book on Thursday, September 5th – “James:  A Novel” by Percival Everett.  An instant New York Times bestseller and Pulitzer Prize finalist, it is a brilliant, action-packed reimagining of “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” told from the enslaved Jim’s point of view.  It is currently in development as a feature film to be produced by Steven Spielberg.

 Meetings are at noon every Thursday via Zoom, covering about 30 pages each week.

Please join us for some fun discussions!  If you would like to do so, please contact Mark Klopsch at klopschm@comcast.net so that he can add you to the Zoom invitation.
