September Book Group — Tuesday, September 11 at 2 pm in Palermo

At the September meeting we will be discussing The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky. It is a LONG one, so be forwarned.

Our location for this meeting is in Palermo. Address sent to you upon RSVP to tonilin@aol.com.

Please join us for the discussion, whether or not you have read the book. You are welcome to join us. We meet on the second Tuesday of the month at 2 pm.

A list of the books to be read for the remainder of 2018 is below. Bring suggestions for 2019.

James Joyce — A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man — October 9, 2018

Luncheon — Thursday, August 30 at 12:30 pm

Posted on August 17, 2018 by tq

Date and Time: August 30, 12:30 pm

Place: SDS

Address: Talcahuano 475

Price: 400 pesos (includes tip)

Tucked away up a flight of stairs (there is an elevator) with a doorway that has only the address -475 – and no signage is one of Michael’s favorite Italian restaurants in the city. The restaurant is conveniently located in Tribunales just around the corner from the main courthouse and two blocks from the Colon theater. The Tribunales stop on the Subte line D is a block and a half away.

Our planned menu will include Salvatore’s stuffed fried olives as an appetizer – these will be served family style with four per person being allocated. There will be three choices of pasta to include Michael’s favorite lasagna and two other pasta specialties of the chef. For dessert we can choose tiramisu OR coffee — and of course wine will be included. Everything is homemade on the premises and includes the fresh bread and cheesy eggplant topping that alone is worth a visit.
