SUMMARY:Manayunk Book Club on Meet Up
DESCRIPTION:What we’re about \n\n\n\nMeet kindred book lovers in a local Meetup Book Club! Fiction or non-fiction\, paperback or hardcover\, you will read a new book every month. Come to laugh\, share stories\, and make new friends! \n\n\n\nLike books? Live in or near Manayunk? \nCome on out! \n\n\nDetails\n\n\nIn May the weather was not in our favor for an outdoor event\, so we’re trying again in June at the PHS Pop-Up Garden in Manayunk . We will be discussing James by Percival Everett\, a critically acclaimed new take on classic Mark Twain. The pop-up garden has food and drink available for purchase and is friendly to well-behaved pets. Bonus points for anyone who builds a raft and arrives via the Manayunk Canal. \nIf mother nature conspires against us\, we will be at Manayunk Brewing Company a/k/a The Brew Pub. I will update the event posting and contact attendees if we have to do this. \nYou may want to (re)familiarize yourself with Twain’s depictions of Jim\, Huck Finn\, and Tom Sawyer. If you’re not familiar with Percival Everett\, the movie American Fiction is an entertaining introduction to his style and themes.
