This is a book club for guys who like books. New members are always welcome!

Our next meeting will be to discuss Master and Commander by Patrick O’Brian, the first book in a popular series of historical adventure novels, still in print after fifty years. Here is a summary:

Ardent, gregarious British naval officer Jack Aubrey is elated to be given his first appointment as commander: the fourteen-gun ship HMS Sophie. Meanwhile—after a heated first encounter that nearly comes to a duel—Aubrey and a brilliant but down-on-his-luck physician, Stephen Maturin, strike up an unlikely rapport. On a whim, Aubrey invites Maturin to join his crew as the Sophie’s surgeon. And so begins the legendary friendship that anchors this beloved saga set against the thrilling backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars.

Copies of the book will be available at the Keysville Branch Library. We hope you will join us. Coffee and light refreshments will be served.
