​Saint Augustine once wrote, “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.”  This group is a space to assemble and share a love of literature.  It’s a time in our busy lives to converse over coffee and tea about our favorite authors and books, what we like about literature, and what we don’t like!  We gather in the Minister’s Office (in the upper level of the parish hall, 61 Dundas Street) on selected days at 2:00 pm.

​The next book up for discussion: 
Middlemarch by George Eliot
Thurs, January 23rd at 2:00 pm

Middlemarch is a town on the rise. With its old country gentry, middle class, and tradesmen, it is ever growing and changing with the times, circa 1830. Vast and crowded, rich in irony and suspense, the novel Middlemarch is richer still in psychological insight. One of the best-loved works of the nineteenth century, it introduces two of the era's most enduring characters—Dorothea Brooke, a passionately idealistic woman, and Tertius Lydgate, an ambitious doctor—and explores the complex social relationships in a town that moves and breathes with a life of its own.
