Looking for other 20somethings to start a monthly book club. I read mostly contemporary literary fiction mixed in with some modern classics. Favorites include Nabokov (currently re-reading Lolita for the second time), Murakami, Joyce, Woolf, and Faulkner. I'm open to any sort of book club but I definitely want it to be socially oriented -- I'd love to meet people with whom I could not only discuss books but also grab an after work drink or dinner or drop by a museum or see a movie. Let me know if you're interested.
