Friendly group of bright, broad-minded people, who appreciate excellent writing, by writers from all walks of life. Lively discussions, in warm, inclusive atmosphere, every six weeks or so. Speak up, or just listen in - but do join us!
Literary-quality books only, chosen by members, by consensus. Let's start with winners of major literary prizes only - prizes for quality, not popularity.
Being the WORLD Literature Book Club, for every book we read by a White, Anglo-American, Western, and/or male writer, we we'll be sure to read at least one by a non-White, non-Anglo-American, non-Western, and/or female writer.
