What we’re about
For all of you NYC folks 18 through 45-ish, this is an off-shoot of The Millennialish Book Club. (You don't have to be a member of both.) This is for the hardcore reader who feels he or she wants to tackle some major works. We read books that have at least one edition that is at least around 500 pages, and can be twice as long. For over half a decade now, we've read fiction and non-fiction--variety is the spice of life. Since the books read can crack skulls with their bulk, we get together once every 2 months to give us enough time to git 'em done. If you're not intimidated, if you want to test your mettle, if you want to flex those mental biceps of yours, then step right up and join us Big Apple biblio-bruisers for the bookish fun you crave and deserve. It's time to leave others in awe of our literary fortitude!
