The Arden Book Group for Fearless Red-Blooded Men
(a.k.a. The Arden Fur Trappers Gild)
For the most part, selections are all fiction, chosen by those who have previously read the books and liked them enough to recommend them to all. We usually meet on the second Monday of each month to discuss what we've read, and to laugh at each other's jokes.
