Join us for our next Book Club meeting! We're excited to read LuLu Miller's "Why Fish Don’t Exist: A Story of Loss, Love, and the Hidden Order of Life" a memoir and biography that intertwines the author's personal struggles with the life of 19th-century taxonomist David Starr Jordan, who cataloged thousands of fish species but faced repeated destruction of his work by natural disasters like earthquakes and lightning.
