Welcome to the Los Angeles Times Book Club

Every month, we share book club selections, publish author interviews and stories and invite you to read along. Then we host a live conversation with the authors and invite you to join that, too. Our focus is on stories and storytellers relevant to Southern California and the West, and our mission is to make your newspaper something not just to read but to experience — something that brings us together.

Book Club newsletter: Get the latest live events, author interviews and book news in your inbox. Sign up for the free Los Angeles Times Book Club newsletter.

Latest: Latest: What’s next? Meet California Poet Laureate Lee Herrick Dec. 12.

The Los Angeles Times Community Fund supports the newspaper’s literacy and literary programs, connecting readers with authors at live events. Here’s how to contribute.
