Join us for Coffee by the Book on March 21

We discussed Eleanor Brown's debut novel, The Weird Sisters, at last Thursday's Coffee By the Book meeting at Bailiwicks Coffee Company.  The discussion was very interesting as we talked about the relationship between the three sisters, their parents, and the people from the small Ohio town in which they have found themselves again.  If you missed it, or are interested in attending for the first time, consider coming to the next meeting on Thursday, March 21 from 6:00-7:00 pm at Bailiwicks.

The book we will be discussing is A Working Theory of Love by Scott Hutchins.  Neill Bassett, newly divorced, finds himself navigating the San Francisco dating scene.  His luck is mixed as he meets women who pique his interest, but have issues of their own.  Neill also works for a small company in which his boss is trying to create the first computer that uses natural language in communicating with the user.  The reason for this is to win a prestigious prize and then sell the company.  How is this done?  Neill's father kept a very extensive diary throughout his years and this language is fed into the computer, leading Neill to become obsessed with this computer that sounds like his father. This debut raises a lot of interesting questions about the human experience.

So come out and enjoy great company, discussion of the book and some delicious coffee!
