About us
Don't get us wrong: who doesn't love a good beach read? But you don't need nearly as much motivation for that as you do to finish (or start) something like James Joyce's Ulysses. That's the point of this group--to give you accountability, and company, to tackle more challenging literature.
We’re here for novels, nonfiction, and essays that spark deep thought and great conversation--in a chill and unpretentious way (despite how pretentious our title might sound!)
We’ll focus on prize-winners, longlisted titles, modern and classic literature, translated works, and books that critics and serious readers can’t stop talking about. Meetings will be relaxed but substantive: expect thoughtful discussion, differing opinions, and space to disagree respectfully.
Whether you’re trying to read more “serious” books, finally get to those intimidating titles on your shelf, or just meet other readers who enjoy a challenge, you’re welcome here.
Featured event
"Gilead" by Marilynne Robinson
CANCELLATION POLICY: If you can no longer attend, you must "cancel" your RSVP on MeetUp by no later than Friday, July 17 or you will be removed from the group--this is extremely important as I am putting money down to reserve the venue for the exact number of people.
------------
Join us for a discussion of Gilead (2004) by Marilynne Robinson, winner of the Pulitzer Prize. It’s a quiet but powerful novel written as a long letter from an aging pastor to his young son, reflecting on faith, doubt, history, and the ordinary moments that end up defining a life.
The meeting will take place over brunch & drinks at Ox Bar & Hearth. You can find the menu here.
We've chosen the time so not as to interfere with the world cup final at 3 pm.
And if you need a copy of the book, DM the host, Vaidehi--she can send you a digital copy.
