What we’re about
- Welcome to Orange County Book Club!
- WHAT WE DO: We meet the second Wednesday of every month at 7:30 pm to discuss an awesome book over drinks (alcoholic or otherwise). We read modern or vintage classics or award winning books generally under 400 pages. December will always be a short and easy one though.
- WHO SHOULD JOIN: People who love to read and talk about what they’ve read.
- ALL age groups and genders are welcome, provided you are 21+ (because our meetups take place at a bar).
- WHO’S HOSTING: I'm Meaghan, the group founder.
- HOW IT WORKS: We’ll choose books about two months in advance so you have time to get them from the library. The day after each Meetup, I’ll post a comment on the group page and you’ll write a reply for each of your book suggestions. Everyone will have until that Sunday night to vote by liking the replies That Monday, I’ll officially announce the selection.

Snow Country by Yasunari Kawabata
Chapter One: the modern local, 227 North Broadway, Santa Ana, CA, USWHAT WE’RE READING: Snow Country by Yasunari Kawabata
WHAT ITS ABOUT:
This masterpiece from the Nobel Prize-winning author and acclaimed writer of Thousand Cranes is a powerful tale of wasted love set amid the desolate beauty of western Japan. • “Kawabata’s novels are among the most affecting and original works of our time.” —The New York Times Book ReviewAt an isolated mountain hot spring, with snow blanketing every surface, Shimamura, a wealthy dilettante meets Komako, a lowly geisha. She gives herself to him fully and without remorse, despite knowing that their passion cannot last and that the affair can have only one outcome. In chronicling the course of this doomed romance, Kawabata has created a story for the ages—a stunning novel dense in implication and exalting in its sadness.
