What's up in Lansing: Brew Pub Book Club

Hello on this Tuesday.

The official start of summer is a few weeks away, but with the increasingly longer days and teh warmer weather, summer feels like it is close to here. Many people take advantage of the warm weather to relax and catch up on some recreational reading. If this sounds like you, joining a book club might be just what you need, and what better place for a book club than a brew pub? While this meeting isn't technically at a brew pub, the Brew Pub Book Club will be meeting today from 7-9 p.m. at Soup Spoon Cafe at 1419 E. Michigan Ave. Lansing. The meeting is free, and this month's book is Sudden Death by Álvaro Enrigue.
