This group brings together avid readers once or twice a month for a vegan food potluck and discussion of the prize-winning fictional novel du jour. For example, we might meet over tempeh reuben and lentil loaf to discuss a recent award winning novel (examples of recent award winning novels: Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk [National Book Critics Circle 2013], The Round House [National Book Award 2012], or The Orphan Master's Son [Pulitzer 2013]). Also, wine and spirits!

I decided to start the group because I cannot find a book club that assigns books that are more to my liking. So I am hoping to find other girls who will enjoy the type of books I love to read. I read both fiction and non fiction, but my main interest is stories that touch upon specific things: feminism, sexuality, mental health, etc. So join my group if you are looking to stay local in Brooklyn, like to drink and like to read.
