Who speaks Russian, Polish, Belarusian, Ukrainian, or any other Slavic languages? We're looking for a group to share literature, poetry, music, movies, current events and conversation.

GONE FISHIN' -- This group closed in 2009 due to waning interest by the members. No new events will be scheduled. No new members will be accepted. After the final installment "HP and the Deathly Hallows" was published, most people simply lost their enthusiasm for the Potterverse. Someone else started another HP group in Winston-Salem in 2010, but it only had a few events. I have purged this group's membership list and have kept this site only for archive purposes. We had a GREAT time for 2 years …

Our scope is broad, including addiction, developmental disabilities, and family dysfunction.

Our name is of course a reference to Marcel Proust, even though many would dispute that he should be classified as …

“ The books that help you most are those which make you think the most.
