This is a book club.

This is a book club with two goals

The first goal of this book club is to remind you that others exist in a true, deep way. I know this might sound convenient considering I make almost all of my money now by telling stories, but I really do think the best way to be reminded of this is through stories!!! The beauty of a novel is that it allows you to immerse yourself in the inner lives of people other than, and hopefully unlike, yourself. Stories create empathy and force you to step outside of your own reality and remember (or discover) that others feel and experience the world as deeply and fully as you do.

The second goal is simply to know what the fuck you’re talking about. At a time when it seems like it doesn’t matter, I say double down on the truth. You don’t have to argue with people who deny the truth, but you should damn well know what the truth is.

To recap: I’m starting this book club because stories help you not be an asshole and it’s important to know what you’re talking about.
