LA poet Arminé Iknadossian curates our selections—always the best of what's new. We read and discuss, going as deep as we can in one sitting.
In August, we look at National Book Award-winning Terrance Hayes' American Sonnets for My Past and Future Assassin—one of the first and biggest takes on the harrowing Trump era.
HOW IT WORKS: All book clubs require a ticket, and include the book, snacks/bevs, and a dedicated moderator - to keep the discussion on track! All clubs meet at The Last Bookstore. You can get your ticket (we'll ship the book to you!) at the link on this page or just come in to the store and look for our book club display (near the book tunnel). If you choose the on-line option (the one with shipping), please send a mailing addy to [email protected].
