About us
Love to read literary fiction? Frustrated with book clubs that don’t actually read the books? This might be the club for you!
We vote on which literary fiction books we want to read next and meet up once per month to chat about them. Literary fiction usually involves “active” reading that prioritizes meaning, vs popular fiction which usually involves “passive” reading that prioritizes entertainment.
Do we actually talk about the book? Yes!
Do we also have social time and hang out? Yes!
Are men and women both invited? Yes!
There will be no due starting in 2026. If you join as a new member it will tell you there are dues after 90 days, but I will waive them.
We typically meet on the 4th Saturday of the month at 10:00 am in Cumming, GA, but occasionally we'll reschedule to avoid holiday weekends or other conflicts.
Hope to see you soon!
