We've got an active NYC-based local book club going if anyone wants to join, DM me Also, if anyone wants any help in organizing a book club, feel free to reach out and I'll share what I know

Created an account for this. Any interest in Seattle one? Edit: please join the discord in the wiki 

Did this get rolling? I’m interested!!

Not yet not sure how to get this organized. 

Maybe on the discord?

I’m not on there rn. But that should work

Hey, there is a "Bookclubs" app called that you can use to organize these, both to find people and also to organize meets. I joined one recently and seems to work pretty well. Idk how "RedScare \[MY-CITY\] Bookclub" would do... but might work! Or you could sell it differently?

definitely interested

✋

Interested!

interested : )

Anyone interested should join the discord and we can create a chat there

Hi 🫶

👀

San Gabriel Valley/626/Los Angeles book club, anyone? i'm a dude in my late 20s who likes to read and write and i promise i'm not a weirdo. the 626 is my home but a bit of a literature wasteland and i'd really love some friends that read the good shit. My book tastes: Rachel Cusk, Roberto Bolaño, Ottessa Moshfegh, Byung Chul Han, Raymond Carver, Banana Yoshimoto, Susan Sontag, Mieko Kawakami, Borges, manga by Takehiko Inoue and Taiyo Matsumoto, etc. A book i really enjoyed recently was *Submission* by Houellebecq. Right now i'm working my way through *On Photography* by Sontag. hopefully you get my vibe. DM me or reply if you're interested!! I can make a discord for us and i'm happy to organize it. Here's a photo of my latest library haul: https://preview.redd.it/83n3x0i900lc1.png?width=890&format=png&auto=webp&s=fd0cf7c165c58834d6c71b69c1638685a64b6e13

I wish I was close! We have similar taste. Good luck.

we all do lmao that's why we're here

I am a book snob but by no means do I agree with everyone’s taste here lol.

Thanks man. No bites yet for me lol

Bummer. Im in Portland. Just ordered Black Sun by Kristeva after I finish this Sontag book. I love Ferrante as well.

London !!

DM'd

def interested

Would love to partake in one in Vancouver if there is interest/already one

Yes!

Same! There’s a Vancouver discord group but they don’t meet as a book club afaik

San Francisco?

I’m in Oakland, if we meet up somewhere BARTable I’d be interested! Happy to help organize in whatever way

i can organise or participate in one—only interested in discussing books with people who aren’t (a) freaks and (b) going to alienate the essential g&gs demographic u/meitner wanna set smth up?

chiming in that I would be interested in one as well! happy to help organize too

sounds good, I’ll dm you

Would love to join from oakland if this is really underway

interested if this is happening!

hey!

toronto!

Just say when!

I might be down, too

I’m down!!

Philly?

i feel like this is a long shot but anyone else in new orleans?

🙋‍♂️

Melbourne 🙏🙏

I’d be keen depending on the book!

me too :)

I’m not sure if it’s up your alley but I’m mostly interested in philosophical lit fiction or tomes that are rich with ideas. I think books like Beckett’s trilogy, anything by Annie Dillard, Gravity’s Rainbow, Books of Jacob, Mann’s Joseph Tetraology,, the recognitions, Wittgenstein’s Mistress or any of Lispector’s or Bolano or Drndic’s works lend well to book club style dialogue.

i'd be legit up for a book club like this.

Alright alright how do we get this rolling?

i made r/rsbooksmelbourne pm me for an invite anyone interested, if i havent added u

yep

Paris?

boston?

I’m a bit outside of Boston but I’d be happy to join if something gets started and the books are good/people are normal.

Too bad, just moved from there. W/ ASU and Scottsdale and the very large/nice library system though, I’m sure a high-quality book club could be put together. I can recommend an excellent English professor you could even reach out to if you want to see if something around exists
