This group was started to bring people ages 40+ together who share an interest in reading classic fiction and non-fiction (out loud).  The group will meet in Forest Hills in a member's apartment.  No purchasing of books is required, nor is reading anything in advance.

The host will provide cold (non alcoholic) beverages. Gue …
