Background: Greg Farber, facilitator of Boys and Books, says it is the interaction among the group that keeps him coming back week after week. “I’m always interested in what others have to say. The conversations are fascinating.” Farber says some of the most memorable discussions are when the authors come to talk about their books. “It is always interesting to hear them talk about — and sometimes defend — their work.”
