What we’re about
Welcome to a book club for people who love books a little too much. Whether it’s unread paperbacks gathering dust, an ever-growing wish list, or a tsundoku pile starting to look like modern art, you’re in good company. At the Tsundoku Club, we come together monthly to discuss whatever we’ve managed to read—or that half-read paperweight still sitting on the nightstand. So feel free to bring a bit of your bookish guilt and join us for a judgment-free literary chat.
