Non Fiction Book Club
We will meet on Tuesday, March 18, 2025 at 3:00 pm to discuss The Little Book of Aliens by Adam Frank. Frank, an astrophysicist at the University of Rochester, addresses the biggest questions in our search for extraterrestrial life in this little book. Drawing from his own work and that of other scientists studying the possibility of alien life, he brings together the latest scientific thinking, data, ideas and discoveries to equip us with the critical facts as we stand at the last moment of human history where we believe we are alone.
Our meetings are in a hybrid format with both in person attendance and via Zoom. Zoom information will be distributed prior to each meeting (see below).

May 1st and June 5th, both at 7pm in the Fellowship Room
May 1st : Fuzz: when nature breaks the law by Mary Roach Combining little-known forensic science and conservation genetics with a motley cast of laser scarecrows, langur impersonators, and trespassing squirrels, Roach reveals as much about humanity as about nature’s lawbreakers. When it comes to “problem” wildlife, she finds, humans are more often the problem—and the solution. Fascinating, witty, and humane, Fuzz offers hope for compassionate coexistence in our ever-expanding human habitat.
June 5th: The Friend by Sigrid Nunez When a woman unexpectedly loses her lifelong best friend and mentor, she finds herself burdened with the dog he left behind. Now her own battle against grief is intensified by the mute suffering of a huge Great Dane, and by the threat of eviction. Increasingly obsessed with the dog's care, she comes dangerously close to unraveling. Elegiac and searching, The Friend is both a meditation on loss and a celebration of human-canine devotion.
