About this Event

Not your average book club. We dive into books that don’t flinch at existential crises, societal breakdowns, the spectacle of modern life, addiction, and the mess of being human. Drinks and hard questions are welcome. This is a book club for those who want to wrestle with heavy texts, challenging ideas, and the uncomfortable truths of existence. We read works that demand deep thought, including philosophical discussions, cultural critique, raw memoirs, and literature that refuse easy answers.

For this Mind Over Midnight gathering, we’ll confront Tony Tulathimutte’s , a darkly unsettling exploration of loneliness, entitlement, and the emotional wreckage of modern connection. These stories dissect rejection not as a singular event, but as a defining condition of contemporary life filtered through dating apps, resentment, desire, and self-deception. Tulathimutte forces us to sit with uncomfortable perspectives, asking whether empathy has limits and what happens when wounded egos turn corrosive. As we meet, we will examine where responsibility ends, where bitterness begins, and how rejection reshapes identity.
