  • UPDATED WEEKLY

These humble friends have simple goals: read, think, and talk. Once a week, they call upon their dormant English literature degrees in order to critically read and thoughtfully discuss a book of interest. Whether you're a wine-toting book club veteran or someone who hasn't willingly read a book since high school English, you'll find jovial, measured discussion here. From mythology to romance, historical fiction to science fiction, essays to memoirs, our selections are carefully curated so that your reading schedule is consistently fascinating and diverse. Join us (and read along!) as we pursue literary bliss.
