What we’re about

A book club for those who daydream about the lost city of the Monkey God and get pumped talking about the French Revolution!

How Does This Work?

  • Our members get a 20% discount on the month's book at Schuler Books on 28th St if you snag a copy from the Book Club Table.
  • We read one book each month, usually on the third Saturday of the month from 10am-12pm. Long, dense books get split into two months.
  • We cover most continents throughout the year and throw in some general/macro/micro histories and biographies while we're at it.
  • Rules, discussion questions, and all of our book titles are in Google Drive.
