Great Conversations

Tomorrow is our last meeting for Great Conversations 2, which is: Eichmann in Jerusalem. We were going to move on directly to Great Conversations 3, but it will not be available for at least another month. So rather than wait, we decided to do another anthology series: The Critically Engaged Reader and then go on to GC3 afterwards.

Our books new books will be handed out tomorrow; so our first discussion will probably be May 11: Selections from Politics, by Aristotle. The following selection will be poetry: Waiting for the Barbarians, by Cavafy.

Our group has been very stable for the past two years with the same eight members. We do have very interesting and lively conversations considering our demographics: six liberals and two conservatives, four male and four female, the median/average age being 75 years.

Our venue is also quite nice. We use the public meeting room, in the basement of the county Court House, in downtown Klamath Falls. The building is very modern with all the audio/visual equipment necessary, and a full kitchen; we do not have WiFi, but we hope it will be added soon. We always have coffee, cookies, or other pastries, and sometimes a peasant lunch.
