Kona Stories nonfiction book club to gather
Kona Stories hosts a nonfiction book club discussing “The Undoing Project” by Michael Lewis on Tuesday.
“The Undoing Project” is a story about the workings of the human mind explored through the personalities of two fascinating individuals so fundamentally different from each other that they seem unlikely friends or colleagues. In the process they may well have changed, for good, mankind’s view of its own mind.
The group meets at 6 p.m. at the store. Book groups are free if books are purchased at Kona Stories, or a $5 donation is requested.
