What we’re about
Welcome to the San Antonio Book Lovers Club
This is a space that you can bring your book/reading suggestions that you would like to share and participate in lively discussions with a group of fellow book lovers.
Our discussions are fairly free form, I will provide some discussion points about the reading and let the conversation flow. This is NOT a traditional structured type book club.
We will cover many topics from short stories, poetry, historical fiction, non-fiction, biographies, etc. The intent is for this group to be fueled by your input!
Happy Reading!

The Island of Dr. Moreau- by H.G. WellsThe Island of Doctor Moreau is an 1896 science fiction novel by English author H. G. Wells. The novel is set between 21 January 1887 to 5 January 1888. The text of the novel is the narration of Edward Prendick, a shipwrecked man rescued by a passing boat. He is left on the island home of Doctor Moreau, a mad scientist who creates human-like hybrid beings from animals via vivisection. The novel deals with a number of themes, including pain and cruelty, moral responsibility, human identity, human interference with nature, and the effects of trauma. Wells described it as "an exercise in youthful blasphemy."
The Island of Doctor Moreau is a classic work of early science fiction and remains one of Wells's best-known books. The novel is the earliest depiction of the science fiction motif "uplift" in which a more advanced race intervenes in the evolution of an animal species to bring the latter to a higher level of intelligence.Please post your suggestions for future discussions.
