What we’re about
A book club for everyone, from passionate readers to people looking for a new topic to talk about. Books of the month are usually about some weird quirk of human behaviour, paradigms, culture, and thinking. Suggestions welcome!

See all- Short Reads Social: Are Resolutions Over? (Jan 15th)The Annex Hotel Wine Bar, Toronto, ON
Sick of making small talk at networking events or meetups? Looking to have more deep conversations with strangers but don't have the time to commit to a book or philosophy club?
Introducing Short-Read Socials! It's the same as any other networking event/social, we provide a topic and some prompting questions to get people started.
This month's topic is resolutions (and self-improvement). Are New Year's resolutions doomed as a concept?
---
How does it work?- The event is pretty casual, where you can talk to anyone there with or without our prompt sheets.
- If you've read/watched/heard anything related to the topic of the month, feel free to bring it in! Not necessarily physically, but you can if you want...
- If not, here are some thought-provoking reads to start you off:
- The Surprising Cultural History of New Year’s Resolutions
- In Favor of New Year’s Resolutions: Why Has Self-Discipline Become A Taboo?
- The Art of Self-Improvement: Ten Timeless Truths
- The New Year’s resolution is dead and replaced by the ‘ins and outs’ list

Finally, Short Read Socials are always free to attend. Though if you've been having a good time with us and want to pass along a couple of bucks to help cover Meetup platform costs for future events, here's a Paypal link :)
(since some folks wanted to donate last time but didn't have cash)
