Slow Reading Dinners at UPB

Dinner and Reading Gatherings on the fourth Monday of each month

Join us around UPB’s great table, where we will eat and talk about reading in the slow lane. We will enjoy wine and edibles prepared by the Musical Offering’s genius chef Erick Balbuena, featuring many ingredients gathered from the Berkeley Hills. We ask everyone to bring a paragraph or a few words you love that must be read carefully, and savored slowly.  Martin Holden and Bill McClung, hosts

6 to 8 on August 23, September 27, and October 25

$40 per person, wine, tax, and gratuity included

($15 for students and starving artists)

About the UPB Post

We intend this UPB Post to be a kind of BERKELEY READS forum, a place where we and our intellectual friends can project what we find in books.

You can blog here, too, by sending not more than 300 words to us at this email address.

Occasionally we will post a cri de coeur for the fate of books and our bookstore, seeking respect and support.

* * *

And an occasional joie de vie as there is so much good life in the books we carry and in this place.
