​The Wild Gentleman Book Club - March

​We are going to be doing something for the first time in March with The Wild Gentleman Book Club. We will be reading a recently published book and the second book by an author we've already read, George Saunders's new work, Vigil. The meeting will take place the night following St. Patrick's Day at Paddy's in Newton.

Below are the specifics for the March meeting of The Wild Gentleman Book Club. 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 evolved into thought-provoking and meaningful conversations.

​The idea behind The Wild Gentleman is to bring men together, meet, and engage in conversations about complex ideas through great books (and some not-so-complex ones as well). Our first few meetings have created an opportunity to dive deeper into character, relationships, and growth.

​The book for March is George Saunders's Vigil. We will be discussing this book at our March meetup.

​​About This Month's Book: Vigil by George Saunders

​For the first time, we're reading a recently published work—George Saunders's new novel Vigil. After our November discussion of A Swim in a Pond in the Rain, we're diving back into Saunders's singular vision of humanity, humor, and moral complexity.

​What We're Building

​The Wild Gentleman Book Club brings men together for conversations that matter. Not networking. Not small talk. 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 Vigil

• ​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, the wisdom found in great stories, the love required for vulnerable conversation, and the community we build together.

​Location: Paddy's Public House, Newton

​New to the group? Perfect. These conversations are designed for everyone—whether you've read every word or just the back cover. The book is the starting point. The conversation is what matters.
