Anythink York Street offers a monthly morning book club with a very different style: we choose a theme for the meeting, and you choose the book you want to read based on that theme. Each person discusses their choice. It’s a fun way to discover new authors and books while reading a title that speaks to you. Bring your pick and a morning beverage, and we’ll talk books. This month’s theme: books that became a movie. Appropriate for adults. No registration required.

I’ve discovered a sort of atomic half-life of influence he had on me, most surprising of which is just how much of a literary impact he made.
