Book with a Beer Chaser

There's still time for you to get ready for next week's installment of our lubricated reading group Books & Bars. Join us Tuesday night (the 10th) at Bryant Lake Bowl (map) for conversation and a beverage with some very interesting folks. Doors open at 6:00pm for socializing; discussion begins in earnest at 7:00pm.

April's book is Black Swan Green by David Mitchell. The novel recounts a year in the life of Jason Taylor as he growing up in a small village in Worcestershire, England, in 1982. The SF Chronicle said, "With this novel, Mitchell has stripped away much of the surface flash without sacrificing intelligent prose and has created a genuinely pristine and personal work. Comparisons could be made to Roddy Doyle or Mark Haddon, and those comparisons are not shoddy by any means."

Books & Bars is not your typical book club. We provide an atmosphere for lively discussion of interesting authors, good food and drinks. You're welcome to come even if you haven't read the book.
