G.T. Humanists Book Club: The Rosie Project

February 16 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm

The Grand Traverse Humanist’s next book club selection is the novel “The Rosie Project” by Graeme Simsion.
We will meet to discuss the book at the home of John Wierenga. Please RSVP to him at jwier71@gmail.com or 231-943-2158. Bring a dish to pass, if you like, as well as your ideas for future book club selections.
Description of “The Rosie Project” from amazon.com:
“The art of love is never a science: Meet Don Tillman, a brilliant yet socially inept professor of genetics, who’s decided it’s time he found a wife. In the orderly, evidence-based manner with which Don approaches all things, he designs the Wife Project to find his perfect partner: a sixteen-page, scientifically valid survey to filter out the drinkers, the smokers, the late arrivers.
Rosie Jarman possesses all these qualities. Don easily disqualifies her as a candidate for The Wife Project (even if she is “quite intelligent for a barmaid”). But Don is intrigued by Rosie’s own quest to identify her biological father. When an unlikely relationship develops as they collaborate on The Father Project, Don is forced to confront the spontaneous whirlwind that is Rosie―and the realization that, despite your best scientific efforts, you don’t find love, it finds you.”
