Misfit Book Clubs

Where no one reads the book, but everyone has opinions

They say it’s a book club, but nobody actually read the book. Instead, it’s two hours of wine-fueled tangents and one guy passionately defending his conspiracy theory about Shakespeare being an alien.

1. The One Who Only Read the Summary
“The themes were… complex. Like, very… thematic.”

2. The Tangent Queen
“This reminds me of my second divorce and also avocados.”

3. The Host with Snacks, Not Insights
No one knows what the book was, but the charcuterie was divine.

4. The Guy Who Picked a 900-Page Russian Novel
Why? Just… why?

5. The “Book” Club That’s Now Just a Brunch Club
Three meetings in, it’s mimosas and vague guilt.

Misfit Book Clubs: where literary intent goes to die — under a pile of hummus and half-remembered plot points.
