At our September meeting we started our discussions based on Francis Spufford's book, 'Unapologetic'. Liz gave some background to the author and we began the discussion based on some notes that Liz circulated. In December we will continue our exploration of the ideas in the book. The idea is that we look at Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 and pick out something that strikes us and that we wish to bring to the table. We may not get to discuss everyone's choices but hopefully by making some choices it will hone down many ideas in the book and give us parts to focus on.
