Secular Book Club – In Person December 7, 2025

November 16, 2025 @ 12:30 pm - 2:30 pm
Free
Our latest new book is from our Palate Cleansers list: short, light, fun reading to give us a break from heavier topics.   This time, we are reading  “The Handshake” by Ella Al-Shamahi, a paleontologist who is also a standup comic!  Our target for this week is to read through Ch 2.
Special Note:    Is winter peeking around the corner?   In the coming weeks, snow, wind, and ice will eventually make road travel hazardous.   Here’s my Plan for this winter just as prior years:

 
By 10:00 AM on snow/ice day, I will study the runes and shake the shells, and pore over the weather graphics.   I will always err on the side of caution.  If I am calling off our gathering for that day, I will endeavor to reach *everyone* via this page before 11:00AM.     – DEG

Are you looking to engage in thoughtful (and/or fun) discussions and connect with fellow book lovers? Join the Omaha Metro Area Humanist Association’s Weekly Book Club! We gather every week to explore the latest chapters of our selected book, engage in lively conversations, and enjoy a relaxed lunch together. Our meetups offer a welcoming environment for those interested in deepening their knowledge on a variety of thought-provoking topics.

Our book club focuses on a wide range of primarily non-fiction genres that inspire curiosity and expand our understanding of the world. From the history of world philosophies and scientific discoveries to the evolution of humanity—both physical and psychological—we cover books that encourage critical thinking and meaningful dialogue. We typically complete a book in 4-6 weeks, allowing for an in-depth exploration of each topic.

We look forward to welcoming you to our community of readers and thinkers!

(Because we pay HyVee for the use of this room, we do ask for a contribution to the Tip Jar to help cover that cost.  ~ $2 per person would be ideal; but it is voluntary.)

Don’t be put off by a smattering of RSVPs here.  We typically have 12-20 around the table, in any event.
