We are a small, diverse group of readers from all walks of life who meet once a month to discuss books that claim to, or have the capacity to, completely change the way we view the world; books that contain ideas that can provoke a significant paradigm shift. We seek to be “wowed” by novel ideas, critical theories, and challenging perspectives that compel us to see ourselves and the world we live in differently. We want to blow-our-minds and we challenge the libraries of the world to challenge u …

Calling all you book lovers of the dark and macabre! Or light and fluffy, meh my tastes change! I love all books other than perhaps about war and politics.
