Initial Post

Welcome to the Morris Alumni Book Club!
Thank you for your interest. Here we will begin the process of creating the book club to best fit the needs of our group. Based on valuable feedback from alumni, we envision each book commentary to last approximately 6-12 weeks (quarterly), longer or shorter if desired.
Books will be selected via popular vote by the group per your suggestions. Meetings and commentary will primarily occur online at this blog, which is accessible for all alumni from anywhere through several email providers. We also hope to host at least one face-to-face meeting annually, if interested.

Please post any comments, suggestions you may have for the group here.
