Deep Thinkers Book Club

(DTBC)

"…life goes beyond the limits that knowledge fixes for it, but thought goes beyond the limits that life fixes for it. Thought ceases to be a ratio, life ceases to be a reaction. The thinker thus expresses the noble affinity of thought and life: life making thought active, thought making life affirmative."                         - Deleuze, Nietzsche & Philosophy 

ABOUT DTBC

The Deep Thinkers Book Club was founded in 2016  as a way to connect and socialize with fellow  Chicago-based bibliophiles.

 

Each month, a new pair of Book Leaders guide the club's discussion on the selected title. The genre of the books runs the gamut from nonfiction, biographies, and must-read memoirs to contemporary and more.
