Profile
While the phrase “reading group” suggests a gaggle of suburban soccer moms chatting over Oprah’s latest pick, rest assured that isn’t the case here. To the contrary, Book in Hand favors esoteric classics over the flavor of the month. These guys are infinitely more likely to opine about Rainer Maria Rilke or Elizabeth Barrett Browning than James Frey or Wally Lamb. If you always kept your brilliant comments to yourself during lit lectures in college, here's your second chance to impress your peers with your erudition.
