​The Wild Gentleman Book Club - April

​For April, The Wild Gentleman Book Club is delving into a book that has grown in popularity due to word-of-mouth. We'll be gathering at Paddy's in West Newton on Tuesday, April 28th.

​Each month, our community of thoughtful men has been growing, exploring literature, wisdom, and what it means to live with purpose. These in-person meetings are an essential element of The Wild Gentleman, and, thus far, have offered the kind of supportive community of men I envisioned when I started this last summer.

​The idea behind The Wild Gentleman is to bring men together to meet in person and engage in conversations about complex ideas through good books. Our previous meetings have created an opportunity to dive deeper into character, relationships, and growth.

​The book for April is Allen Levi's Theo of Golden. We will be discussing this book at our April meetup.

​About This Month's Book: Theo of Golden by Allen Levi

​I don't know too much about Theo of Golden, but a few people have reached out to me online to push this as an ideal read for our book club.

​Originally self-published in 2023, the book grew via word of mouth and was finally published by a top book house in the fall of 2025 — eventually becoming a #1 New York Times bestseller without the traditional marketing that books that achieve that stature normally have.

​From what I understand about the book and its story, it raises questions good for men in midlife to delve into: What does it mean to truly listen? What would it look like to move through the world with generosity, wonder, and no need to have all the answers?

​What We're Building

​The Wild Gentleman Book Club brings men together for conversations that matter. Real discussion about character, purpose, and what it means to live thoughtfully.

​Our monthly gatherings have grown into something rare: A space where men can ask hard questions, challenge ideas, and build genuine community through literature.

​What to expect:

• ​Thoughtful discussion of Theo of Golden

• ​Connection with men seeking wisdom and community

• ​An environment that values questions over answers

• ​Good conversation over good food and drinks

​What Past Attendees Say

​"We're starved for connection and meaning because we spend our time in the shallows. The Wild Gentleman invites us to go deeper, with people looking to do the same."

​"It starts with the books... and ends at a table of thoughtful men, sharing their own stories and ideas."

​About The Wild Gentleman

​We explore thoughtful masculinity through four core values: Love, Adventure, Wisdom, and Community. Our book club embodies all four — the adventure of tackling challenging literature and meeting new people, the wisdom found in great stories, the love required for vulnerable conversation, and the community we build together.
