Unofficial Monocle Book Club

A group of Monocle Magazine fans who meet annually at the Quality of Life Conference and started a bi-monthly book club to read a diverse selection focused on fiction, architecture, economics, design, art and history.

We take turns suggesting the next title, without too many rules, and meet on the second Saturday of even months, on Google Meet.
