As people of "The Book" we believe that reading helps us to know the world, to know ourselves and to know God. We have men's and women's book groups interested in exercising our minds and connecting with others who are looking for Gods grace, both common and particular, in great literature. Keep up with us here at the blog or better yet, join us for our next meeting!

Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
I think I enjoy the dystopic stories more than any other fiction. I
think it gives more true insight into humanity and I find that
appealing. This is one of the classics. Huxley wrote a foreword to the
book addressing some of its short comings. It does say that he wishes he
had given another option to the Savage than the 2 that were left open. I
would agree with that. The ending was so abrupt I found it a bit
disappointing. The book leads to interesting discussion on freedom, struggle, pain and grief and how those relate to social stability. It is a fantastic story of what seems to be a
not so distant future.
