Note: I tend to spend long periods deeply focused on my studies. Because of this, I really savor my downtime—usually in nature or cooking—so please don’t take it personally if I’m slow to respond.

I made the doc outline from the structure given in the linked video by putting it into chat so please do make sure to rev things and make any changes for yourself as needed.

As Voltaire puts it:

"Le mieux est l'ennemi du bien" The best/better is the enemy of the good.

So, do please feel free to join for only one book or the whole list. I'm sure I'll be skim reading a lot myself to practice for graduate school. Just know that it's more about the community and sharing of ideas consistently than anything.

This club is a space to practice reading, share resources, and connect with curious minds. Our goal is to explore ideas, spark curiosity, and support each other’s growth.

We’ll have weekly check-ins and monthly discussions as able. Let’s be patient, kind, and enjoy the journey together.

Link to other groups and their discords below.

I'm working on a doc that will include all of the questions we'll explore for each book during our discussions so anyone can chat in the discord server for each book as they'd like.

Regarding the discord server, fair warning, I am not someone online much so, it will be unmonitored. Be appropriate and respectful. Anyone who shows bad character will be removed. Same thing goes for here.

I facilitate discussion groups exploring the intersections of philosophy, literature, and symbolism.

"♔LitRex♔" a group which involves reading, interpreting, and generally discussing our explorations into philosophy, literature, psychology, and myth from classical to modern thinkers—ranging from Greek tragedy to the Gothic and The Grotesque, from Plato to Nietzsche, Jung, Dostoyevsky, Bakhtin, Rilke, and Hesse.

Through the lenses of existentialism, individuation, and radical self-acceptance, the club examines the enduring Apollonian–Dionysian tensions of existence. Emphasis is placed on foundational texts by and about Plato, Homer, and Euripides, with special attention to Orphism and its heretical influences.

Central themes include fragmentation, decay, isolation, transcendence, and integration—along with the psychological and aesthetic dimensions of the Grotesque, in particular.

"Scroll & Quill Society: Becoming ἀρετή" a literature and philosophy based circle dedicated to studying Ancient Greek, German, and French texts in both original languages and translation

"The Cards of Life (Les Cartes de la Vie)" is a group tracing the history of tarot and cartomancy as symbolic systems.
