NEXT BOOK DISCUSSION

Champagne for One (1958)
March 19, 2012 -- 7:00 p.m.

Verify Venue in March!

Slattery's Midtown Pub
8 East 36th Street, 2nd Floor
between 5th & Madison
Manhattan, New York, 10016


As usual, some of us will convene at about 5:00 PM in the back room of The Ginger Man, a beer specialty pub, across the street from Slattery's.
Our moderator will lead the conversation, which can range from a discussion of the ridiculous to the subtle. Bring your opinions, but with an open mind, and join us for interesting, and perhaps even heated, discussion.

Join us for a stimulating evening. Slattery's offers us a second floor banquet room, conveniently located with good and reasonable food, excellent ambiance and service, separate checks, and no background sports or bar events.

It includes ideas about topics to research and bring up at the discussion.

Read Les Blatt's blog, Classic Mysteries: Of Dinner, Discussion and a Doxy, to read about the July, 2011, book discussion.
