Join us for our monthly book club! For the month of October, we will be reading Holy Cow by David Duchovny.

**ABOUT THE BOOK**
Elsie Bovary is a cow, and a pretty happy one at that-her long, lazy days are spent eating, napping, and chatting with her best friend, Mallory. One night, Elsie and Mallory sneak out of their pasture; but while Mallory is interested in flirting with the neighboring bulls, Elsie finds herself drawn to the farmhouse. Through the window, she sees the farmer's family gathered around a bright Box God-and what the Box God reveals about something called an "industrial meat farm" shakes Elsie's understanding of her world to its core.

There's only one solution: escape to a better, safer world. And so a motley crew is formed: Elsie; Jerry-excuse me, Shalom-a cranky, Torah-reading pig who's recently converted to Judaism; and Tom, a suave (in his own mind, at least) turkey who can't fly, but who can work an iPhone with his beak. Toting stolen passports and slapdash human disguises, they head for the airport.

Elsie is our wise-cracking, pop-culture-reference-dropping, slyly witty narrator; Tom-who does eventually learn to fly (sort of)-dispenses psychiatric advice in a fake German accent; and Shalom, rejected by his adopted people in Jerusalem, ends up unexpectedly uniting Israelis and Palestinians. David Duchovny's charismatic creatures point the way toward a mutual understanding and acceptance that the world desperately needs.

**ABOUT THE EVENT**
We will meet to discuss the book at Revolution Wines at 11:30. Attendees are to purchase their own drinks, food, and gratuity. Please give at least 24 hours notice if you can no longer attend. Thank you for your understanding!

We're so excited to start a book club for the group. Titles will be rotating between different genres as we continue to read. Want to suggest a book for future events? Head to this form and let us know what you'd like to read: https://forms.gle/TzrsEExPnPXAarDd6
