NYC JoeBooks
Hi!
This is the groups page for the Manhattan JoeBooks club.
We just started, but the plan is to meet every six weeks, picking off the books that the cJ Brain Trust is recommending one by one. We generally meet on Sundays, 5ish in Lower Manhattan.
If you're interested in joining our group, click the "subscribe" link to the right (or register/login first). As long as we have space for more readers, you're in!
