About us
Open Book is moving to be an event under another Meetup Group, Men's Friendship and Social Circle. Please join that Meetup and you can find our monthly book club in the events.
Open Book is a men's book club in Fort Lauderdale for guys who actually want to talk — about what they read, what it stirred up, and what it means to be living the life they're living.
We read fiction that starts a conversation. Not beach reads, not self-help in disguise — novels with something to say about being human. Each month we gather for dinner and/or wine in Oakland Park and dig into the book. One member leads the discussion each meeting, so the group belongs to everyone.
Open Book is for men of all ages, orientations, and backgrounds. Straight, gay, somewhere in between — all welcome. The only real requirement is that you read the book and show up willing to be honest.
First book for June 2026: A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles
Second book for July 2026: The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro
Third book for August 2026: Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin
