Lots of stuff going on!
Please note that the GREAT BOOKS DISCUSSION WORKSHOP is being held
THIS COMING SATURDAY. Not too late to reserve a space. More info on
how to do that at
http://www.houstonbookclubs.org/HoustonGreatBooks/workshop.html
I couldn't agree more with what is stated regarding reasons for
attending this workshop. "Expert discussion leaders are essential to
the Great Books Shared Inquiry approach. Every Great Books discussion
group needs a cadre of experienced and knowledgeable leaders to keep
its discussions varied and lively."
Also, as most of you know, near and dear to my heart is the upcoming
first discussion for the new HOUSTON NONFICTION group. The first book
is "1929 CRASH" by Galbraith and you will find how I've tried to split
up the readings for all the months following our first meeting
February 15th on the web page at
http://www.houstonbookclubs.org/HoustonNonfiction/.
The new PHILOSOPHY CAFE looks very interesting and you will find a
complete list of readings for that group too.

And don't want to leave out the very special event below titled
"Houston Great Books Council at the Museum of Fine Arts : What is
Art?" This one also requires an RSVP. See the link for the full
information.
Apologies to those who are receiving this info multiple times.

---Hope to see you at one (or more) of these events coming up!
