About

Reading Club

Features
Read full description

The Reading Club was conceived as a new kind of private social club. An attempt to engineer a culture and community around conversation, reason, and humanity. We want to surround ourselves and create thoughtful relationships with people who love their work, whatever it may be. People who value mastery and are in pursuit of it in their fields, crafts, passions, or industries. Who go deep, not just wide. The Reading Club isn’t aligned with any particular profession or point of view. It isn’t about wealth, status, or affiliation. In fact, we believe getting outside the sphere of like-mindedness is the key to improving one’s intellectual and emotional well-being. The Reading Club has a hand-selected membership of curious, articulate, interesting people who value conversation and are driven to learn. Physically it is located on the rooftop of the InterContinental in downtown San Diego. Philosophically, it is rooted in Plato’s Republic, Seneca’s Rome, and the Socratic method.
