I run a book club here in Austin and am looking for more members

The book club has an anti-capitalist/socialist lean to it. If it's a book that can fit into that category, then it is an acceptable recommendation. We read both fiction and non-fiction. I am always open to recommendations and we vote as a group for the next book to read.

The group started out at a good size. It was made up of friends and friends of friends, but with time people have moved away or lost interest and now it's only three of us.

I am planning to go out and hang flyers to see if I can get members that way, but I figured I'd post here as well.

We are currently reading Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. DM me if you're interested or have any questions.

Edit: I didn't know how this post was going to do so I kept it short, but let me answer some of the common questions I've been getting.

The three of us are all in our 30s. We meet in person on Wednesdays at 6:30pm. Because we're a small group, we've been pretty flexible and accommodating to people's schedules, but typically we split up the book into two parts and meet twice for each book. We usually give 3 weeks for the first half so people have extra time to source the book, and then two weeks for the second half. (Though we have done longer for bigger, denser books like the Shock Doctrine.)

Two of us live north and one lives central, so lately we've been meeting either at the Central Market on N Lamar or I will host at my apartment in Tech Ridge.
