The Arts & Culture Book Club's first meeting was last night, Tuesday, January 27th. We had an interesting discussion of "The Man Who Made Vermeers," by Jonathan Lopez. Nine members of the club were present for this meeting, and two members who couldn't make it will join us next month, February 24th, for our second meeting when we will discuss "Dreaming With His Eyes Open: A Life of Diego Rivera," by Patrick Marnham.
Only members of the Arts & Culture Book Club will be able to read/post to this blog. The Club members can use this blog to communicate with each other about the books we are reading, related books and topics; meeting information and other items related to the book club.
Thanks to everyone for a great first meeting. I'm looking forward to next month.
