Book Clubs

Train Dreams Book Club, meeting since 2012 and named after the first book discussed, focuses on literary fiction, a term having a somewhat fluid definition, but, for the club, means “treated with respect by important critics.” The group values thoughtful discussion, close reading, and respectful conversation centered on the text.

#GetLit with Books + Brews! This book club is for lit-lovers 21 and older who get thirsty from reading.
