oaklandcubsfan's "Reading list for the (now defunct) Monday East Bay Book Club"

Add to my lists | Print this list

This is the reading list from a very long-lived but now defunct book group that was based in Oakland and Berkeley, CA. I joined it upon moving here in 1996. It had been in existence since January 1994, and finally dissolved in mid-2003.
