The Mindbridge Book Discussion Group met last Friday at the Coffee Talk Cafe. We discussed what we were looking to get out of starting this group as well as what books we were planning on reading for the group. Our first selection is The Yiddish Policeman’s Union by Michael Chabon (winner of the 2007 Nebula Best Novel award.)
If you would care to read the book and join us, our next meeting is scheduled for 6:00 PM on Monday, May 19, 2008 at the Coffee Talk Cafe in Cedar Rapids.
