About this Event

Due to a previously scheduled event in the Kitchen, we will not be cooking or meeting in the Kitchen for this class. However we will still enjoy delicious Chocolate Pudding with Strawberries to go along with our book discussion. We will meet in Civic Rm 3 on the main floor.

Indulge in your passion for literature and cuisine at a unique book club where we combine the love of reading with the love of food! Each month, we'll dive into a new book and eat delicious snacks inspired by its themes. From fiction to non-fiction, our diverse selection of books will spark lively discussions as we share our impressions, thoughts, and interpretations. Don't miss out on this opportunity to bond with fellow book-lovers over a shared love of literature and food.

This month we will be reading The Apollo Murders by Chris Hadfield.

"1973: a final, top-secret mission to the Moon. Three astronauts in a tiny spaceship, a quarter million miles from home. A quarter million miles from help.

NASA is about to launch Apollo 18. While the mission has been billed as a scientific one, flight controller Kazimieras "Kaz" Zemeckis knows there is a darker objective. Intelligence has discovered a secret Soviet space station spying on America, and Apollo 18 may be the only chance to stop it.

But even as Kaz races to keep the NASA crew one step ahead of their Russian rivals, a deadly accident reveals that not everyone involved is quite who they were thought to be. With political stakes stretched to the breaking point, the White House and the Kremlin can only watch as their astronauts collide on the lunar surface, far beyond the reach of law or rescue.

Full of the fascinating technical detail that fans of The Martian loved, and reminiscent of the thrilling claustrophobia, twists, and tension of The Hunt for Red October, The Apollo Murders is a high-stakes thriller unlike any other. Chris Hadfield captures the fierce G-forces of launch, the frozen loneliness of space, and the fear of holding on to the outside of a spacecraft orbiting the Earth at 17,000 miles per hour as only someone who has experienced all of these things in real life can.

Strap in and count down for the ride of a lifetime."


NOTE:Registration is required and there is a $5 charge for this class.
