What we’re about
Love to read literary fiction? Frustrated with book clubs that don’t actually read the books? This might be the club for you!
We vote on which literary fiction books we want to read next and meet up once per month to chat about them. Literary fiction usually involves “active” reading that prioritizes meaning, vs popular fiction which usually involves “passive” reading that prioritizes entertainment.
Do we actually talk about the book? Yes!
Do we also have social time and hang out? Yes!
Are men and women both invited? Yes!
New members can join for free for 90 days and then will be asked to pay $10/year. This helps pay for the Meet-Up group organizer fees, venue reservation fees, and fund supplies for meetings.
We typically meet on the 4th Saturday of the month at 10:00 am, but occasionally we'll reschedule to avoid holiday weekends or other conflicts.
Hope to see you soon!

See all- May: Cold Mountain + film review & hike!Sawnee Mountain Preserve Trail Parking, Cumming, GA
Note: This meeting is held off our normal meeting schedule in order to avoid Memorial Day Weekend.
May's theme is Booker Prize winners and our members voted to read Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier! Feel free to also watch the film adaptation and we'll also discuss how closely the film aligns with the book (2003 - for rent on AppleTV+ & Prime) .
At this meeting we'll enjoy some refreshments and have a loosely guided discussion about the book and some social time. I'll post some discussion questions closer to the event.
If you'd like to stick around afterward those who are interested can join a hike to the top of Sawnee Mountain to the Indian Seats.
Please take note of the address as there are several entrances for the park.
