Upcoming books

Here's how we approach choosing our books. We want to include a mix of genres, styles, time periods, and topics. Our members make recommendations. And, we try to be mindful of length because we know everyone is busy. We occasionally pick a longer book, but then give everyone two months to read it rather than one.
