Hello! Welcome to the Men's Book Club.
The inception of this podcast is as organic as the book clubs that your mother was probably into. We don't see many men sitting around and starting their own book club. So we did that.
What's the Men's Book Club? Two men, who enjoy reading, discussing their latest reads. We didn't start this podcast because we wanted to talk about books. We constantly talked about books, so we created this podcast.
If you have any suggestions or comments, you can find us on instagram @ Menbookclubpod
Thank you for listening.
The classic story, which you probably read in school, is a dystopian novel about a society that lives by very strict and uniformed rules. It's the story of a future in which families are given children, excess of kids are killed, elderly are discarded when they reach the end of their usefulness and everyone in the society must dedicated their lives to a special career based on their skill sets.
Jonas, our protagonist, is given the task of being the memory holder, the only person in the society who can remember the past. The Giver, his mentor, passes memories to him that change his mindset. He experiences past memories of snow, beaches, Christmas and love.
Those emotions evoke in Jonas the need to see the world for what it really is. We embark on an adventure with him to escape the only life he knows.

Glengarry Glen Ross by David Mamet
Set in the backdrop of a real estate company based out of Chicago; this play tells the story of a few men trying to get an edge in their sale positions. Some go to greater lengths than others.
The play is really about the down-on-their-luck and has-beens of an industry that is already struggling to convince consumers to buy a subprime real estate. Some characters, the ones who have seen the peaks, are finding the struggles of staying relevant more difficult each day and have to make difficult decisions to make ends meet.
Listen along with us as we discuss this small, yet mighty, play

The Kreutzer Sonata by Leo Tolstoy
The Kreutzer Sonata, is a small work of fiction by Leo Tolstoy that explores the philosophical ideals of marriage, sex, family and jealousy. In this novel, a man tells a bunch of strangers on a train about how he ended up killing his wife, and got away with it.
In the telling of the tale, the man and the strangers, debates the ideas that surround love and how some expected beliefs and actions with a spouse as viewed by society have been looked at wrong all along. In more than one example, we're thrown into the middle of a debate about what love is and why that should lead to marriage.
Listen along as we discuss what we really liked about this novel and what we did not!
