What we’re about
Are you passionate about climate change and want to engage with the topic through a more literary perspective? Or an avid reader who has just started getting more interested in reading and discussing climate change/environment-related books with like-minded folks? If so, welcome! You're in the right place. Virtual/online-friendly Meetup!
We read a combination of nonfiction and fiction books related to climate change and the environment and meet once a month to discuss them (some past books include Braiding Sweetgrass, Weather, The Value of a Whale). We also do periodic movie discussions to take a break between books (usually films available on Netflix).
I'm based in LA and our meetings are run on Pacific Standard Time (usually Saturdays at 11 am PST), but since we meet virtually over Zoom, members from all over the globe are welcome!
Upcoming events (2)
See all- September Climate Crisis Book Club - Parable of the Sower (Graphic Novel)Link visible for attendees
This month, we're reading the graphic novel adaptation of Octavia Butler's classic fiction book Parable of the Sower: A Graphic Novel Adaptation.
You can find the book on Bookshop (support local bookstores!), Amazon, BetterWorldBooks (used to save some trees), or your local library/independent bookstore. Be sure to get the graphic novel version by Damian Duffy, Octavia Butler and John Jennings -- not the prose novel (though please share your thoughts on the original book if you've read it).
FYI/TW: there are pretty graphic depictions of violence, mentions of sexual violence, depictions of sex etc. Just don't want folks to be caught off guard or be in the wrong headspace. It's a heavy book, but one well worth reading.
Happy reading, folks! Enjoy the last few weeks of official summer. Stay cool, stay safe.
