The Book Beat reading group specializes in World Lit in translation and has met once a month since the 1990s in spaces nearby the bookstore. We meet on the last Wednesday of the month except in December. Since 2020, the reading group has met virtually online via Zoom, which has allowed us to take on new and distant readers.  If you are interested in reading with us, please send us your name, email, and phone number to: [email protected] and we will send you monthly updates and links for joining online. There is no fee to participate, but we encourage purchasing reading group books from us directly. Reading group books purchased from Bookshop are discount 10% and are discounted 15% if bought at the store. Our reading list below shows a large selection of the books we've read and discussed in the past twenty-plus years.   Call us at (248)-968-1190 for more info. Thank you for supporting indie bookstores!
