Frog book group

FROG IS AN ACRONYM FOR FREETHINKERS READING OPPORTUNITY GROUP, our JH BOOK Discussion GROUP

FROG Book Group Rules

The Jefferson Humanists’ book club, known as the Freethinkers Reading Opportunity Group (FROG), meets every month to discuss humanist themes in books, both fiction and non-fiction. Past books have included, The Measure,  Lessons in Chemistry, Different:Gender through the Eyes of a Primatologist, The Sixth Extinction, Breakfast with Seneca, Secondhand:Travels in the New Global Garage Sale, Klara & the Sun and many more. We’ve also read books on select topics, like Feminism, Living the Secular Life, Famous Humanists, Political Extremism, Robot and Overpopulation, all leading to lively discussions. Click here to see a list of all past discussion titles.

We invite you to join the FROGs. We always have great conversations and a good time! If you are interested in being added to future FROG email notices, contact book group leader, Helena Goldstein (frog@jeffersonhumanists.org). You also can find notices of our meetings, with location & other details, on Meetup at www.meetup.com/JeffcoHumanists/.
