What we’re about
Things are weird. The adults are all gone. We've been left to fend for ourselves by the light of an empty fridge.
Gen X was made for this. We got ourselves to the mall food court, looking for each other without appearing to care. Let's read Gen X literature. Let's discuss it as if it's real. As our ultimate rebellious act in a dying world we'll make it so.
Once we find a couple of interested people we'll crack open Eggers, Wurtzel, Safran Foer. Hewlett & Martin. If all goes well and follows in reasonable order we'll start with early Gen X authors and move to the later. Maybe rinse with something hopeish from outside the timeline, like Allie Brosh.
But when does it all go well and follow in reasonable order?
Sign up now before it's too late.

We will be discussing books related to Generation X. FUSION (700-708 1st st. NW 87102) will host our monthly club meetings on Sundays from 11am - 1pm. You're welcome to BYO snacks and drinks. Later in the season Novel Point Coffee will also be open next door.
Look in the photos section for our current reading list. If you have reading suggestions please send them to genxbookclub@gmail.com, and keep in mind:
> Authors should be born between 1960 and 1980. Outliers will want good reasons to be included. Any books over 400 pages may be discussed over multiple months.
> Folks are welcome to attend even if they haven't finished the book, and audio versions are fair game.
> We're looking for discussion above agreement, but if someone is mean they will be sent to a corner. Disagreement is perfectly fine as long as it remains respectful.
