The Anselm Society Book Club's next landing is November 19, 2022.

Join us at 6:30pm as we power down from an amazing voyage to an imaginary world via C.S. Lewis’s space-travel fantasy, Out of the Silent Planet.

We will culminate our trip with a thorough debriefing of the meaning of life on Malacandra and what it tells us about our own silent planet. Don't worry if you haven't made it that far. Just come.

All are welcome, whether or not you're associated with the Anselm Society, the Christian faith, Lewisian fandom, or for that matter, a love of literature! We will meet in the home of one of our members. (Bring a snack to share if you want to.)

If you need the address, please inquire at anita@anselmsociety.org.

If you don’t have a copy of the novel, you can find one here.
