Smoke Gets in Your Eyes by Caitlin Doughty

For our October book club, we’ll be reading Smoke Gets in Your Eyes by Caitlin Doughty — a witty, thought-provoking, and surprisingly heartfelt look at the world of death care. With humor, curiosity, and compassion, Caitlin shares her experiences as a young mortician, lifting the veil on the rituals and realities that most of us rarely see.
We’ve given plenty of time to read before the meetup, so you can take it at your own pace — whether you finish every page or just dip in for a taste, you’re welcome to join the conversation.
As always, everyone is welcome — whether you’re here for the book, the discussion, or simply the friendly company. We look forward to seeing you there for what promises to be a fascinating and memorable evening!
