About us
A book club for everyone, from passionate readers to people looking for a new topic to talk about. Books of the month are usually about some weird quirk of human behaviour, paradigms, culture, and thinking. Suggestions welcome!
Featured event
Short Reads Social #10: The Tyranny of Expectations (July 28th)
Do we expect too much? Has being able to measure and quantify outcomes distorted how we see the world?
---
Short-Read Socials are back! Come meet with like-minded and unlikeminded people to talk about the topic of the month.

How does it work?
- The event is casual. You can talk to anyone there with or without our prompt sheets, either about the month's topic or about whatever you want.
- Open philosophical discussion, including for controversial topics, is welcome but be respectful :)
- If you've read/watched/heard anything related to the topic of the month, feel free to bring it in! Not necessarily physically, but you can if you want...
- If not, here are some thought-provoking reads to start you off (read as many or as few as you want):
- The Jackpot Age
- The Particular Misery of College-Admissions TikTok
- Why Tracking Your Symptoms Can Make You Feel Worse
- What Data Can’t Do
- P.S. bypass paywalls here
- Feel free to post other recommendations (blogs, movies, tv episodes, video essays, etc.) in the comments!
