WHY HAVE LAURA LEAD YOUR BOOK GROUP?
With a B.A. and M.A. in English, an English teaching credential, 25 years' teaching English at the college level, a passion for literature, and a gift as a teacher, Laura is a natural for leading a Book Group.

WHAT WILL LAURA DO FOR YOUR BOOK GROUP?
•  Give you a written guide on any book you choose
•  Help you choose books that fit your group
•  Focus your group, in an easy-going and non-pedantic manner
•  Keep your discussion flowing, with humor and energy
•  Guide your group toward stimulating, rewarding and fun discussions
•  Meet your group almost anywhere in the Bay Area from Marin to Morgan Hill, Lafayette to Los Gatos.
•  Out of love for this work, keep rates as reasonable as possible.

SPECIAL LITERARY AREAS
Nobel Laureates
So much to read, so little time. Why not read the best in the world?
Whether Polish, Irish, Columbian, Israeli, French, American, or South African, Nobel Laureates are accessible to your book group. With Laura's guidance, reading a book by a Nobel Laureate becomes a rewarding, challenging, stimulating and memorable experience. (Take a look at my Nobel Laureate course for UCSC extension and for OSHER Lifelong Learning Institute, under Curriculum Development.)

Jewish-American authors
With Laura's expert guidance, enjoy the heyday of Jewish immigrant literature, the Jewish-American Golden Age of Philip Roth, Bernard Malamud, and Saul Bellow; and today's Jewish literature, uniquely funny, irreverent, familiar and often very wise.
