"The Giver" Book Club In-Person Meeting + Discussion

  • Secular Sabbath 900 East 1st Street Los Angeles, CA, 90012 United States (map)

This Month, we are discussing the legendary book The Giver, by Lois Lowry.

I first read this book in elementary school, and recalled the potency of the story as I meandered through a Barnes & Noble a few months ago. This spark inspired me to revisit it as an adult. I devoured the pages, noticing things that I didn’t understand as a child, that now give perspective to life now, in a new way.

We have an optional companion read: The History of Sexuality, Vol. 2: The Use of Pleasure by Michel Foucault. As The Giver is a quick one, we thought it would be fun to offer a difficult companion read that can be applied to The Giver in discussion. This is completely optional!

I’m excited to discuss it with our Secular Sabbath members. Please sign up for membership, if you would like to attend our discussion.

Please RSVP if you intend to come as we are limiting it strictly to 15 people… 
If you intend to come, please reserve your spot by Venmo-ing @secularsabbath $10. Our in-person meeting is limited to 15 people so that everyone has a chance to speak and listen.
