A monthly meeting to discuss books: nonfiction and fiction, old and new. There is usually a monthly book recommendation, but sometimes we choose to just share whatever the individual participants have been reading. 

 

This month's reading: 

Golden Years: How Americans Invented and Reinvented Old Age,
by James Chappel (2024)

The author describes how "old age" first emerged as a distinct stage of life and how it evolved over the last century, shaped by politicians' choices, activists' demands, medical advancements, and cultural models from utopian novels to "The Golden Girls."
