Join award-winning author and publisher Laurence (Larry) Carr for a discussion about reading in a deeper, more satisfying way. During this presentation, Carr will discuss the major components of fiction: plot, character, and theme. He will also pose questions such as: What genres are you drawn to and why? Why do we “bail out” of some books after 50 pages? What books have been life changing for you? This presentation will cover a wide range of topics and offer suggestions about the current and future books that the avid reader will want to dive into.

RSVP, walk-ins welcome.
