What we’re about

Welcome to a book club for books connected to various varieties of right-wing thought. We read a pretty large variety of books: cultural critiques, political programmes, related history, critiques (and defences) of liberalism: there's no particular political position expected of members, only a desire to discuss the books properly and at a deep level. The best way to see what we're about is to see the list of books we've already read at the bottom of this page.

We read one book every few months, then meet in a central London pub to discuss it. For the first couple of hours we will discuss the book, then stay on for some general discussion. We also do other occasional social events.

The rules of the book club meetings are:
1. You must have read the book (or at least a good amount of it) to attend.
2. Everyone must make an effort to keep discussion on the book until we've finished discussing it.
3. One or two of us will act as a moderator to keep discussion on track

We vote on each book we're going to read. Here's a partial list of books we've read so far (also see the past events):
