North Carolina

[close] Our Sunday Brunch Book Club Bunch meets the first Sunday every other month (the odd months, where Jan=1, Feb=2, etc.). We have in-depth discussions on books the we've read, covering moral and cultural implications, society issues, and life in general). We seek thought-provoking books. We're always open to new folks. Each member votes on the books we read. We meet at HIBERNIAN IRISH PUB in North Raleigh (8021 Falls of Neuse Rd.) Most of us order lunch during our meetings. Our Book Club has been meeting since November 2002. We average 6-12 people per get-together. Many of our get-togethers have a few new people, which is great. I treasure the friendships that have formed from this group, the thoughts and discussions, and how it has gotten me to read again where, in the past, I used the excuse that I didn't have the time. I have read books that I never would have chosen and have a greater knowledge of other cultures, "getting into other people's heads" which a good writer will allow. (no spaces)
