Our next meeting is January 26th at 3pm in the large meeting room at the LME Library. We will discuss Anxious People by Fredrik Backman. Copies of the books are available at the front desk and discussion sheets are also available for pickup or online. We hope you join us!

Summary for Anxious People: "Taken hostage by a failed bank robber while attending an open house, eight anxiety-prone strangers--including a redemption-seeking bank director, two couples who would fix their marriages, and a plucky octogenarian--discover their unexpected common traits. Viewing an apartment normally doesn't turn into a life-or-death situation, but this particular open house becomes just that: a failed bank robber bursts in and takes everyone in the apartment hostage. As police surround the premises and television channels broadcast the hostage situation live, the eight strangers begin opening up to one another. Before long, the robber must decide which is the more terrifying prospect: going out to face the police, or staying in the apartment with this group of impossible people."
