For this *first* book club meeting, let's get together and discuss A Christmas Carol (1843), by Charles Dickens. This is a short novella that has of course been highly reproduced and parodied, so let's take this classic holiday ghost story back to the source.

**From Wikipedia:**
A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas, commonly known as A Christmas Carol, is a novella by Charles Dickens, first published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1843 and illustrated by John Leech. It recounts the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, an elderly miser who is visited by the ghost of his former business partner Jacob Marley and the spirits of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. In the process, Scrooge is transformed into a kinder, gentler man.

**General Notes:**
We'll meet in the community room (off of the upstairs seating area) at East Simpson Coffee Company in Lafayette, CO.

This book club is inclusive to all. The expectation is that everyone will read the book (or re-read if you haven't read it recently), be open and curious about differing opinions, and make space for everyone to be heard.

This is a brand new bookclub. Thanks in advance for joining in on this discussion while I figure out how to connect with other people that enjoy talking about interesting books.
