Summer Classics: Moby Dick

Every summer we take a break from our usual book pairings to explore a classic!  2026’s selection is Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, a tale of adventure, jealousy, and whales.  Kick off this year’s adventure and come back for lectures, discussions, and more.  New members are always welcome!
