ANBC Sessions

Here you can find all of the books we have run sessions on, organized by current readings, any upcoming sessions we may have planned, and an archive of our past readings. Please note that goals are suggestions, and we operate with "rolling admission" meaning that everyone is welcome to join discussions, group meetings, or chats regardless of what point (or lack of) they are at in the book.
