Fiction Book Club
Wednesday, January 3rd, 6PM
Curiosity Book Club will read The Endless Vessel by Charles Soule for our next meeting In January. Soule is best known as a comic book author with such well known titles as Daredevil, She-Hulk & many Star Wars comics. This is Soule’s third novel and is NOT a comic book. However, he does bring in a magical sensibility to this novel about a young scientist trying to maintain her inner light in an increasingly dark world. If you enjoy books such as The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern & The Midnight Library by Matt Haig-this book is for you! I look forward to our discussion. RSVP here

The author’s voice in his retelling of his journey is not one you will soon forget and promises to become an American Classic. RSVP here
