Sick of the brainrot and trying to read more? Looking to meet like-minded people or debate unlike-minded people? Or do you just want something to fill in your Wednesday night? Come down to the book club for humans!This month we’re reading Blood & Ink: The Scandalous Jazz Age Double Murder That Hooked America on True Crime by Joe Pompeo. A must-read for anyone interested in true crime or the phenomenon of pop culture's true crime obsession.
Review on the book (describes the key issues better than the synopsis imo).
Guidelines
- To attend, you have to be a human (pets probably aren’t allowed at the venue ☹ )
- You can come if you didn’t finish the book, but the discussion is based on having read the book (you will hear spoilers)
- Open philosophical discussion, including for controversial topics, is welcome but be respectful
- Feel free to come 20ish minutes early and stay after to get to know people!
Note: Location is tentative and may change. The ticket cost is to cover fees for the meetup platform, any additional will be used for the group (book raffles, a pitcher, snacks, etc.)
If meetup's paypal option isn't working, you can pay in cash (just let me know you're coming over DM or in the comment)
