If you like digging into backstories as much as listening to music, join us to discuss music-related books, documentaries, podcasts and more.

Because no one wants to spend time reading a book they don't like, there is no assigned title. Instead, you choose a book (or documentary, podcast, article, zine, etc.) that fits in with a monthly theme. When we get together, we'll all share the stories, songs, and clips we found. This kind of book club is a great way to get reading recommendations and discover new bands.
