Reading now
Learning German? Read with our German group.
Every second month, we enjoy discussing a work of contemporary German-language fiction in a conversation moderated by a native speaker. Learners are as welcome as native speakers, and two months between meetings leaves time to read at your own pace.

What a meeting is like
Sunday potluck with books
Bring something to share
Our meetings are a potluck: bring a vegetarian dish, salad, or dessert to share. Coffee, tea, and water are provided.
Talk it through around the table
Over three rounds, we discuss characters, themes, plot, and more. And, of course, we share whether we liked the book or not!
Connect with others
This is a social club, not a class in literary analysis. It is a place to meet others who love books!
