Plot Season Book Club is a bi-weekly gathering where a community of book lovers sits down to talk about books, share pastries, and simply enjoy a great Monday together. Our goal is to create a safe space for people to connect and form meaningful relationships, and we make it happen with our book card game, homemade treats, and plenty of smiling faces.

The Book of May is Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi, a memoir about teaching Western literature in post-revolutionary Iran during the 1990s. It focuses on her secret, weekly reading group with seven female students, where they analyzed forbidden books like Lolita and Pride and Prejudice as a form of resistance against ideological oppression.

On May 11, we are meeting to discuss Part 1 and 2 of the book (Lolita and Gatsby), and on May 25, we will talk about the whole book.
