This month, Ellen Rusling will lead the discussion on An Unfinished Love Story by Doris Kearns Goodwin. The book explores Doris and her husband Dick’s reflections on his notes and speeches from the 1960s, highlighting the legacies of JFK and LBJ. It’s a historically rich and insightful dive into a pivotal era.

Looking Ahead:

• February 20: Gilgamesh: The New Translation by Gerald J. Davis, a foundational classic exploring themes of power and immortality.
• March: Table for Two by Amor Towles (tentative, recommended by Claire Church).

Whether you’ve read the book or not, you’re welcome to join us! Discussions often extend beyond the book itself, covering broader themes and ideas.

Do you have a book you’d love to discuss? Share your recommendations with the group to help shape future meetings.

To help us prepare for lunch and participation, please RSVP to Molly Winkelman at mollyatsea@gmail.com or 312-953-2141.

We can’t wait to see you there for an inspiring conversation and a day of community and connection.
