IUF Book Club

Welcome Everyone.

Our book club meets at the Grand Rapids Area Library every Wednesday from 1:30 - 2:30 pm, in a back room.

We choose books by discussion and consent, and everyone is encouraged to bring a book suggestion.

Prior to the meeting at 1 pm, is a 25-minute meditation session for anyone who wants to participate.

IUF's Current Read

We started in September, 2025, the book, The Biggest Ideas in the Universe ~

Space, Time, and Motion by Sean Carroll. It is said that Carroll is "The most trusted explainer of the most mind-boggling concepts."

Prior to writing the book, he produced 24 explainer videos on the biggest ideas in the universe. He also has a podcast, Mindscape where he hosts conversations with the world's most interesting thinkers.

These are the books that the IUF Book Club has discussed in the past three years.
