Our four organizers all love this book club, and participate often. We're always looking for new members and fresh ideas in discussion. What can you exp …

Egyptians continued use of the ideographic and syllabic systems, even after alphabets were discovered. Likewise, when Barack Hussein Obama, II was first heard, many pondered the representation of such a nam …
