READ WITH YOUR BROS
Join a group of intelligent young bros and we’ll embark on a literary adventure together.
What is the BBC?
We know what you’re thinking but it’s not that.
BBC stands for “Bro Book Club”
For example: “Can’t wait to get together with the bros… I could really use some BBC to clear my head.”
Or: “This BBC is really helping me broaden my horizons and see the nuances of the human story and experience…. I’m not religious but… I just woke up.”
Or: “My mother loves BBC.”
Okay, but what is it really?
We’re a group of human people in L.A. County who meet once a month to hang and discuss books that are fun, challenging, insightful, heartfelt, educational, and everything in between.
No, it’s not just for men, and yes, we have a sense of humor.
Bro Book Club was started by a people who loved reading interesting books and wanted to have interesting conversations with interested people. We laugh, we share insights, we bullshit, and we grow as humans.

I don't read a lot. Isn't a book every month a lot?
If you spend 20 minutes a day, you’ll get through a book a month.
Trust us. You can do it. Your brain will thank you.
Also, this isn’t school. The most important thing is that we have a good conversation when we meet in person. There will not be a graded reading comprehension test. -
I'm more of an audio learner. Are audiobooks fine?
100%.
All the books we pick are available on Audible and other audio platforms. The average book is about 10 hours. Pro tip: you can listen at 1.2-1.4X speed and still get all the info.

Will there be... stuff to drink?
We normally meet at bars because those are the kinds of places that make sense to get together in. If you don’t drink or don’t want to, that’s cool too. No pressure. This ain’t a frat.
-
Am I a Bro?
Do you like reading interesting books and talking about them? Are you a human person? If you answered yes to both of these questions then YOU ARE A BRO.
You do not need to be cis, straight, male, a drinker, a person who owns a tank top or chubbies, an actual brother, or heteronormative in any way. If you identify as a bro, and are curious about the world around you, YOU ARE A BRO. -
Any rules?
BE A BRO, NOT A DICK.
The Bro Code States: Don’t be a dick. Don’t be racist or sexist or any other -ist. Don’t be homophobic or transphobic or xenophobic or any other -phobic. We started BBC because we value a variety of viewpoints and love thinking about the world in surprising, different, and challenging ways. This is about curiosity and conversation. If you go against that, you are not a bro. On Tuesdays we wear mulberry.
Want to go Bookclubbing?
If you don’t know one of us, just send us an email brobookclubber@gmail.com with your name, how you found us, a little about yourself and why you’d like to join.
We just wanna make sure you’re not a psycho, Andrew Tate, Rudy Giuliani or anything like that.
