"This was really fun, a bunch of people brought in perspectives on the work that I hadn’t considered. I’ve been wanting to join previous meetings and was thrilled to be in on this one. Thanks for hosting!"

"I was pleasantly surprised to find that everyone stayed on topic and addressed the instructors questions directly, rather than doing a segue into talking about their cats, which often happens on zoom classes."

"The instructors' knowledge-base is truly admirable, and I appreciate the breadth, and care given to the discussion. Also, the attention to details during the discussion are commendable. The world needs more of this."

"Overall I loved the book choice and really liked the sense of community within the group. It felt like a bunch of friends (who had never met before!) getting together to chat and it was a highlight of my day."

"Too darn short. So much to discuss; so little time. I would have happily spent another hour or more talking with tonight’s participants about their impressions of this novel. (Am hoping this is received as the compliment that is intended.)"

"I really appreciated the diversity of the attendees - both with respect to age and gender. I also wanted to say that I admired the way the instructor led the discussion and kept everything on track, crystallizing ideas and discussion points - it's such a difficult job and it worked so well."

"Premise is a great idea. And, its the right time in life for a program like this because the world feels so disconnected."
