Hi Reading Rainobos Friends!

I think I know most of you in this group, but for those I do not know....HELLO :) My name is Julie Park and I like to go by Jules. I am the AGSM at the Bonobos Guideshop Chicago. I enjoy practicing yoga, going to brunch with my homies, hanging out with my fam, and eating (eating a lot!!!). Oh yeah, and of course I love reading. My favorite book at the moment is The Alchemist. If you haven't read it....you probably should. What do I want to gain from this group? I do not know :) LOL. I just think it will be fun to read and discuss with you all. Let's get reading!!

Hey, Reading Nobos!

I'm Sam Allen, and I am originally from Utah and Idaho. I'm the Manager of Bonobos in Chicago and am opening the new Chicago Flagship in April.

Though Chicago isn't very outdoor-friendly, I am an outdoor enthusiast and love rock climbing, trail running, and swimming. I'm also an avid reader and enjoy doing some writing on the side. I like comedy and attend comedy shows often (my wife is a comedian).

I enjoy everything from sci-fi novels to historical texts on old religions. My favorite books change often, but here's my current top five (in no particular order):
Slaughterhouse-Five, The Graveyard Book, Benjamin Franklin: An American Life, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft, and Locke & Key, Vol. 1: Welcome to Lovecraft.

I hope this book club helps me discover books I may not choose on my own and gain insights from others as they read along with me.

Hello Rainobos!

I'm Sarah, and I have the pleasure of being the Newport Beach GS Manager.

I love to cook, often brining in my latest creations to the Shop. For example, if you ever find yourself at our Shop you might find yourself enjoying a twice dipped chocolate covered clementine wedge, with a beer of course.

I'm not an avid reader at all. I have always had a hard time detaching from "life" long enough to enjoy reading. I've viewed it more as an assignment in the past and would like to change that.

I hope that by being in this club I can absorb the passion you all have for reading, and the insights that come along with it.
