October Word & Spirit Book Group: Circe

Where will good books and good conversations take you this year?

Tuesday, October 13th at 7:15p in the Seabury Room

No pre-registration is required.

In September we read The Odyssey and talked about the ways journeys can change us. Our next group is Madeline Miller’s critcially acclaimed novel, Circe. What is life like for those who are left behind?

Word & Spirit is a book club dedicated to exploring the nature of the sacred in literary fiction. Reading fiction has been shown in multiple studies to increase empathy. When we engage in a story from another person’s perspective, we gain insight and appreciation for the lives of others and for the human condition.

This year our meetings will take place on Tuesday evenings from 7:15-8:30pm except where date changes are noted. We will gather in the Seabury Room. Bringing snacks to share is encouraged! All of the books we will read together are available through the Woodbury Public Library and the Southbury Public Library.
