Book Club

Throwback Brewery
Our next book club meeting will be on Wednesday, August 13th, 5:45pm and we will be reading Klara and The Sun by Kazuo Ishiguro.
Here is a bit more about the book:
NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER – Once in a great while, a book comes along that changes our view of the world. This magnificent novel from the Nobel laureate and author of Never Let Me Go is “an intriguing take on how artificial intelligence might play a role in our futures … a poignant meditation on love and loneliness” (The Associated Press). – A GOOD MORNING AMERICA Book Club Pick!
“What stays with you in ‘Klara and the Sun’ is the haunting narrative voice–a genuinely innocent, egoless perspective on the strange behavior of humans obsessed and wounded by power, status and fear.” –Booker Prize committee
Here is the story of Klara, an Artificial Friend with outstanding observational qualities, who, from her place in the store, watches carefully the behavior of those who come in to browse, and of those who pass on the street outside. She remains hopeful that a customer will soon choose her. Klara and the Sun is a thrilling book that offers a look at our changing world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator, and one that explores the fundamental question: what does it mean to love?
A few things to note, if you are interested in book club.
1- We usually cap these meetings at 16 people or so, please shoot us an email if you’d like to attend.
2- We also have a Throwback Brewery Book Club email distribution list. We email everyone on the list 2x a month – once to let everyone know what the next book and book club date is, and once again (a week before the meeting) to get a headcount of who plans on attending. If that sounds like something you are interested in, email us to add you to our distribution list!
