We're doing /lit/ meetups in Boston. At Trident Booksellers & Café on Newbury Street. Next one sometime in January.

Email bostonliterature at gmail if you're interested.

>Why?

If you've been to university organizations, reading groups, or hung out in a cafe up here, you've noticed the stifling eggshell-walking culture. And also that no one reads /lit/ books.

>What?

Something in the vein of Ben Franklin's Junto. Discussion, critique, even a /lit/ oriented rag for exercising yr writing/editing/design muscles.

>When?

We'll coordinate over email.

What's it like living in Boston with MIT, Harvard, and Boston college all around you? Is it a city of extreme high IQers? Is it /lit/ the city?

>> No.10491710

>>10491698
None of those are in Boston. And thank God.

It's a /lit/ city by American standards. And yes, Massachusetts has the highest average IQ in North America. This isn't a good thing, necessarily. High IQ people can be boring and mean and over-concerned with status signaling. Sometimes it's hard not to fall over yawning.
