Table for Two is a 2024 collection of short fiction by Amor Towles, featuring six short stories set in New York City and a novella, "Eve in Hollywood," which continues the story of Evelyn Ross from Rules of Civility. The stories, mostly set around the year 2000, explore themes of compromise and the consequences of brief encounters, while the novella is a noir-style tale set in 1930s Los Angeles. The collection is known for Towles's signature wit and sophisticated prose.

About Ready Readers

The Ready Readers book group meets monthly on Zoom (2nd Tuesday of the month, 3 – 4:30 p.m.), and reads a variety of both fiction and non-fiction, chosen by the members from among books “nominated” by the members. Usually the person who nominated the book will lead the discussion. Members who cannot do Zoom may visit another member’s home to participate in the meeting. Currently the group has 11 members, both men and women. New members are welcome! The group was formed in 2013. Current co-leaders are Sallie Craig Huber and Charmian Proskauer.
