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!
