There is a non-fiction reading group that meets monthly (mostly) on the first Monday of each month. For November 5th we have chosen to read Humble Pi: When Math Goes Wrong in the Real World by Matt Parker. This is a book-length answer to anyone who ever put their hand up in math class and asked, “When am I ever going to use this in the real world?” 

We met on Oct. 3^rd and had an interesting discussion of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics by Carlo Rovelli. In the past, the group has read a wide variety of non-fiction titles, ranging from science (Brief answers to the Big Questions by Steven Hawking), the natural world (What It’s Like to Be a Bird by David Allen Sibley, An Elephant in my Kitchen by Francoise Malby-Anthony), memoirs (Educated by Tara Westover, Becoming by Michelle Obama), and social issues (Caste, the Origins of Our Discontents by Isabel Wilkerson, and This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate by Naomi Klein). If you are interested in joining the group, contact craigmonroe@comcast.net and we will add you to the distribution list for voting and the Zoom link for the meeting. All are welcome. Those involved in the group are sent a list of books with descriptions for consideration in future discussions.  We have multiple votes that can be used all for one book or spread out among several.  The book with the highest number of votes is chosen.
