About us
Hey Folks! I'm new to the area and don't have a car so I wanted to create a book club that's easy to get to. I'm planning to have a meeting once or twice a month around the Rittenhouse area. You don't have to live around here to join as long as you can make it.
For security purposes I do ask that your profile pic be a picture of you.
Hope to see you soon!

The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen
The Curtis Atrium, 601 Walnut St, Philadelphia, PA, US"....The Sympathizer is a sweeping epic of love and betrayal. The narrator, a communist double agent, is a “man of two minds,” a half—French, half—Vietnamese army captain who arranges to come to America after the Fall of Saigon, and while building a new life with other Vietnamese refugees in Los Angeles is secretly reporting back to his communist superiors in Vietnam.
The Sympathizer is a blistering exploration of identity and America, a gripping espionage novel, and a powerful story of love and friendship."
The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen | eBook | Barnes & Noble®“I cannot remember the last time I read a novel whose protagonist I liked so much. Smart, funny, and self-critical, with a keen sense of when to let a story speak for itself (and when to gloss it with commentary). He’s someone I would like to have a beer with, despite the fact that his life’s work is the betrayal of his friends. . . . [Nguyen] proves a gifted and bold satirist.”—Barnes & Noble Review
Location: 601 Walnut St - The Curtis Atrium (Outside of Madi's coffee shop)---We'll move back to Rittenhouse Square if the weather is nice : )
