On May 3rd, we’re meeting at the beach for a relaxed afternoon of reading in the sun (weather willing). There will be comfortable spots to settle in, refreshments to enjoy, and plenty of space to read or just hang out. Slouching Towards Bethlehem: Essays by Joan Didion is the recommended read, but it’s really about being there and meeting the people you’ve been reading with. It’s open to anyone — guests and those not reading the Spring title are welcome.
