Men Explain Things to Me by Rebecca Solnit.

How It Works

Our book club is for people who love exploring the world through books. Each month, we dive into titles spanning diverse subjects—economics, business, politics, religion, history, science, self-help, feminism, philosophy, and even travelogues.

We meet on the last Friday of every month, either online or at a cozy dining spot in Amsterdam, creating space for both convenience and connection.

The format is simple: members suggest books, we vote, and the winning title becomes our next read.

Curious Society was created as a place to learn, exchange ideas, be challenged, and think bigger. Expect thought-provoking conversations, fresh perspectives, and a community that values curiosity as much as the books themselves. We can’t wait to welcome you into the discussion.

  • Join us by submitting the membership form.

  • Every month members vote on a shortlist of 5 inspiring nonfiction books on a theme. Our of 5, we will select 2 books of choice to read during the month.

  • You will be invited to our monthly in-person or virtual event.

    Join us online or in Amsterdam on the last Friday of the month.

"Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious...and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."

— Walt Disney
