We are a group that embraces and spotlights the wisdom and talents of our group members. We are open minded and …

Reading and discussing difficult books with a small group of equally dedicated individuals is a pretty wonderful experience, and seemingly hard to come by outside of an academic setting. I'm not quite ready to quit my job and head back to school, so I thought I'd try and find other like minded folks--too cheap for grad school, but missing the experience of reading in an academic style. I have a comparative litera …

Macro-Description ... This group presents an opportunity to experience -- rather than think.A cursory definition of meditation is transcendence beyond the distracted, entropic meanderings of the 'mind' -- and resultant connection to Consciousness / Infinite Connectedness / One-ness. Restatement of the obvious - water represents the fathoms of our spiritual nature.

This is a book club. It is also a support group. Our simple goal? Get through the 3000+ plus pages of "In Search of Lost Time" (Remembrance of Things Past) by Marcel Proust. I'm a practical reader; I know that I need a plan in order to have any hope of getting through a novel like this.

Think of it this way - my version has abou …
