[close] A reading group for those of us who love great writing about nature— In this group, we read one book monthly, fiction or nonfiction, connected to the themes of appreciating nature and making sense of our place in the natural world. Readings will be selected by the moderator based on input and suggestions from members. Participants are encouraged to finish the reading by the goal date. Those who wish to comment are encouraged to post in the “currently-reading” discussion thread. This reading group is open to any adult Goodreads members, and also serves as an online extension of the Literature & Nature book club which meets in person monthly at Baltimore Woods Nature Center in Marcellus, NY (USA). Any online group members who are local and wish to attend live discussions may do so by registering at BaltimoreWoods.org.
