Our book club is unique for two reasons. First of all, we feature either a Chicago-themed book and/or a Chicago author. Second, we often find that contemporary Chicago-based authors join us for a discussion of their books. We usually, but not always, meet on the fourth Saturday of the month. We start at 11:00 AM and the discussion continues to about noon. The discussion is open to members and the general public. Many of us stay for lunch afterwards.
