ABOUT DTBC
The Deep Thinkers Book Club was founded in 2016 as a way to connect and socialize with fellow Chicago-based bibliophiles.
Each month, a new pair of Book Leaders guide the club's discussion on the selected title. The genre of the books runs the gamut from nonfiction, biographies, and must-read memoirs to contemporary and more.
