Spearheading the year's program was a discussion on the Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrackf, The Yule season brought the traditional wassail- without-ale party and an analysis of Dostoevski's Notes from the Underground. Members also delved into the intricacies of their own works, short stories of contem- porary writers, and a recording of John Gielgud's Hamlet. Patrons discovered that Coffee House promotes the discussion of literary topics in an informal atmosphere.
