Wit

[close] An amusing gathering of witty minds, fun stories, and exquisite libations. We read books because we are. The purpose of this club is to read fun books, gather together, and socialize with a fine beverage in hand and opinions on tongue. This is for relaxation and fun. If a member is busy, they don't need to attend every meeting, nor do they need to read any books that don't interest them. This is a relief from stress, far from assigned reading. The main genres we focus on include, yet are not limited to, fantasy, sci-fi, steampunk, historical fiction, mysteries, and maybe some horror or thriller for good measure. Every story of worth is up for consideration.

[close] No matter where your strengths lie, if you enjoy words, appreciate wit and desire wisdom or have some to share, then this is the place to be. The group will become active and membership will include writers, screen writers, playwrights, future writers, wannabe writers, has-been writers, artists, photographers, teachers, professors, editors, publishers, and others who desire the opportunity to be taken seriously, read, viewed, critiqued and ultimately having work made available in a manner to generate interest and exposure to the consuming public. Nothing is off bounds or exempt from criticism. If you’re under 18, come back when you’re not any longer. If you feel you can contribute to our sharing process, even if those contributions are only questions, then by all means, join us and take an active role.

[close] We read literary fiction from 2000 to present, with the intent of finding those literary gems of timeless and enduring quality. We're less focused on the latest bestsellers, or discussing books already well-represented in other groups. Our passion is to explore works, from around the world, which stand a chance of being remembered fifty years from now. In addition to seeking out books with literary merit, we also encourage lively and thought-provoking discussions. All are welcome to join 21CL, whether you're already a fan of literary fiction, or just starting to explore.
