We had so much fun reading books set in Oakland in 2023 that we’ve decided to keep it going in 2024! This year’s we’ve expanded to books set in the Bay Area, although we still have a strong Oakland focus. Our books are selected from a variety of genres and eras so you’re sure to find something you’re interested in. We’ll get to learn more about our city, meet some neighbors and discuss what we’ve read.
Meetings are the second Tuesday of the month from 6:30-7:30pm. Come to one discussion, a few or all of them! No pre-registration or commitment is required – all we ask is that you’ve read the book and are ready to discuss it.
Here’s our 2024 schedule:
Just for fun, this year we’re reading our way chronologically through the books in the order they’re set, from pre-history to right now.
