East Side History Nerds Unite!
|
Why should learning end when we leave school? I have a bookshelf full of unread books, but I am completely caught up on my DVR'd TV shows. Something's gotta change! I started this Meetup for those people who are fascinated with history (whether it's world or American) and would love to learn more. The group's original focus will be a Book Club, where we will read biographies and historical non-fiction. But I'd also like to branch out into movie nights, museum outings and more. *All book club meetings will be held Sundays on the "east side" of town - Los Feliz, Echo Park, Silver Lake, Glendale, Burbank... Join and let's use those brains!

Our next meeting:
Truman Coffee & Chat
Our first book club choice will be Truman, by David McCullough. Amazon has it for $14, but it should be available from the LA Public Library or a local used book store. We'll get as far as we can by meet date and discuss over coffee or tea at a TBD location. We can also discuss future book ideas and activities for the group. Hope you can make it!
