Butler Book Banter
On the third Thursday of every month we’ll read a selection of three books on a single theme.
We’ll consider them individually, investigating their literary merits, and we’ll mine their
intersections, exploring their communal theme from varying perspectives. All are welcome, and
should read all, some or none of the books in question, as time and inclination allow. We hope to
see you there!
