Would anyone here be interested in @Key the Metal Shitposter's idea of a book/learning club? We could do it either in a Group DM here or on another site if need be.
We have a book club for reading cringe furry books and comics. So this idea doesn’t sound bad for me. I’m in :)
 
I have a friend who is in an IRL book club. It seems like it's just an excuse for a bunch of single, frumpy women to meet up once a month and order greasy food and drink midweek.

I like my current strategy of reading a book, and physically writing a Unabomber manifesto about it in a journal I keep under my mattress.
 
I joined a women’s book club and didn’t realize the host was super liberal. I got into a fight with them about troons and it was awkward, so I left.

I wish I could find a book club with a less politically retarded leader?
 
10-ish years ago, my friends and I tried to start a book club, but it kind of fizzled out pretty quickly. lol.

Personally, I think it fizzled out because all of us are already good friends and we all would always end up just hanging out and talking about other things.

So my advice would be to start a book club with people you aren't besties with? Acquaintances would probably be the ideal group for such a thing because you would stay on topic
 
Following this thread in case the book club idea goes anywhere. I don’t have a concrete idea for summer but in October Pynchon’s next book comes out and I’d like to do something either here or on /lit/
 
I imagine if you got enough Tom Clancy hardbacks together and could find a way to keep them from falling apart, they would indeed make a nice club. I think I would prefer a heavy stick though.
