What we’re about
Here's the deal, I like big books and I cannot lie. I like small books too. No book judgement. But, I'd like to explore books by dead authors - exclusively.
Readers out there! Hear me now!
Let's get together on a dedicated night of the week for dinner or drinks, or both, but mostly to talk books, life, be out and about, and meet cool people doing cool things.
This group is for you if you like books and to discuss books from dead authors and the influence of those authors or stories in the current world, enjoy meeting people from all walks of life, reading books that stretch or challenge you from time to time, and sip easily on wine or cocktails or beer (or any types of beverages, really) whilst discussing books and chatting with people.
This group is not for you if you are closed off to new experiences or people or desire a book discussion held in someone's home with a potluck. Being out and about means there will be background noise for our discussions!
Logistics: 3rd Thursday of the month, roughly 7:30 - 9:00 pm, trying out new places around DEN but anchored on the east side. (or we may find a home away from home location and ground ourselves!)
Discussions range from the book to applicable current landscapes, crossovers, personal experiences, and insights. Open mind and diplomacy is a must. We will read the whole book for each event and discussions will be open ended with discussion questions at the ready to keep us going.
This group is an extension or new chapter of the original group started (and going strong!) in Portland, OR!
Upcoming events (3)
See all- February Book Club - Parable of the Sower @ TBDNeeds location
Come read & drink with us! The location will be posted closer to the event somewhere near Downtown.
For February, we are reading Parable of the Sower by Octavia E Butler.
"Lauren Olamina and her family live in one of the only safe neighborhoods remaining on the outskirts of Los Angeles. Behind the walls of their defended enclave, Lauren’s father, a preacher, and a handful of other citizens try to salvage what remains of a culture that has been destroyed by drugs, disease, war, and chronic water shortages. While her father tries to lead people on the righteous path, Lauren struggles with hyperempathy, a condition that makes her extraordinarily sensitive to the pain of others.
When fire destroys their compound, Lauren’s family is killed and she is forced out into a world that is fraught with danger. With a handful of other refugees, Lauren must make her way north to safety, along the way conceiving a revolutionary idea that may mean salvation for all mankind."
As a reminder, this meetup's intentions are to be out and about in the city, exploring new places for drinks and discussions about books. Will post a location ASAP. Taking recommendations for locations if you have one in mind!

- March Book Club - One Hundred Years of Solitude @ TBDNeeds location
Come read & drink with us! The location will be posted closer to the event somewhere near Downtown.
For March, we are reading One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez.
"The brilliant, bestselling, landmark novel that tells the story of the Buendia family, and chronicles the irreconcilable conflict between the desire for solitude and the need for love—in rich, imaginative prose that has come to define an entire genre known as 'magical realism.' "
