What we’re about
Not a book club! A group for readers who want to meet up and talk about what they’re reading. No prescribed reading list, no need to have finished the book. Just a chance to talk about whatever it is you’re reading at the moment.
What’s on your bedside table right now? What perennial favorite are you re-reading? What everyone’s-raving-about title are you considering picking up next?
Bring the book with you if you can (giving big Show and Tell vibes), rave about what’s great, bemoan the weaknesses, share a passage or two if you’re extra generous—and enjoy the company of other readers reading other books.

I don’t know about y’all, but I somehow made it through lots of years of school without ever having to read this book. And the movie? With smoldering Daniel Day-Lewis and Madeline Stowe sporting identical haircuts as a sign they’re destined to become lovers? Just the kind of melodramatic historical romance made for a Mother’s Day matinee.
Tickets and trailer available here: https://carolinatheatre.org/events/film/the-last-of-the-mohicans/
For those who want to read it beforehand, several options for free, full-text files are available here: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/940
For those readers who prefer to listen, there are several audiobook options on Libby, YouTube, and Spotify.
The film is at 2:00, but I’ll get there a little early in case any new folks have trouble finding us. Would love to do dinner, drinks, and discussion at some walkable little spot after the movie!
