On the first Thursday of every month, we partner with Medfield Public Library to host a sci-fi book club.

Wool by Hugh Howey

In a ruined and toxic future, a community exists in a giant silo underground, hundreds of stories deep. There, men and women live in a society full of regulations they believe are meant to protect them. Sheriff Holston, who has unwaveringly upheld the silo’s rules for years, unexpectedly breaks the greatest taboo of all: He asks to go outside. His fateful decision unleashes a drastic series of events. An unlikely candidate is appointed to replace him: Juliette, a mechanic with no training in law, whose special knack is fixing machines. Now Juliette is about to be entrusted with fixing her silo, and she will soon learn just how badly her world is broken. The silo is about to confront what its history has only hinted about and its inhabitants have never dared to whisper. Uprising.

NOTE: we will discuss this book over two months (July + August)

If you get a chance, pick up a copy at your local library or wherever you get books, read ahead, and come prepared to discuss in our awesome taproom… or just come to chat about sci-fi, reading, or other stuff and make some new friends! Oh, yeah, and don’t forget to order some fresh, local sake at the bar to whet your whistle while you talk.

This is a recurring event, generally on the first Thursday of every month at 7 pm (the July meeting is an anomaly, meeting on the second Thursday). Reach out to our library liaison Jared to get on the mailing list for this book club.
