The Central Park Book Club meets (almost) every 4th Monday of the month to discuss books across all genres. Join the group and create a space to talk about and enjoy reading!

This month, we will be discussing Earth Abides by George R. Stewart: "First published in 1949, award-winning Earth Abides is one of the most influential science-fiction novels of the twentieth century. It remains a fresh, provocative story of apocalyptic pandemic, societal collapse, and rebirth. The cabin had always been a special retreat for Isherwood Williams, a haven from the demands of society. But one day while hiking, Ish was bitten by a rattlesnake, and the solitude he had so desired took on dire new significance."
