Do you like science fiction, fantasy, horror, or other speculative books? Meet fellow weird readers to discuss strange and thought-provoking fiction and non-fiction at Weird Book Club, an adult book discussion group that meets at Midwest Coast Brewing on the 3rd Wednesday of the month. 
Reserved book club copies are available to checkout at the Manning Branch circulation desk, while supplies last. Many titles are also available as eBooks or eAudiobooks on the Hoopla and/or Libby app.
This month’s title is The Icepick Surgeon by Sam Kean. “Science is a force for good in the world–at least usually. But sometimes, when obsession gets the better of scientists, they twist a noble pursuit into something sinister. Under this spell, knowledge isn’t everything, it’s the only thing–no matter the cost. Bestselling author Sam Kean tells the true story of what happens when unfettered ambition pushes otherwise rational men and women to cross the line in the name of science, trampling ethical boundaries and often committing crimes in the process” –Publisher This event is for ages 21+
