Fiction Book Club
First of three Thursday sittings on Trespasses. One in the early afternoon, one at three, one at seven, all on the same book, so pick the hour that fits.

October's book is Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling. The nonfiction group meets Thursday from 7:00 to 8:30 among the stacks, in a shop that sells coffee and cookies alongside the books.
