451 Book Club
A Book Club For Gentlemen
451 Book Club was started in June 2015, has met monthly since then, and is designed for men who don’t like to read books.
We’ll read one book a month and then meet at my house at 8:00pm on the last Thursday of the month. It’s pretty low-key. If you don’t like a book, or something else comes up and you can’t make it, no worries. We’ll hope to see you again the next month.
