So we’re trying something new: the Outside Beyond Books Club. It’s partly an actual book club (more on that below), but it’s also a place to explore outdoor culture and media. And that means whatever you want it to mean, whether it’s a deep discourse on Hot Dog… The Movie or correcting us on the classic adventure literature we left out of our canon. We’ll also be sharing our thoughts, bringing in writers and filmmakers and artists to answer your questions, and keeping you updated on what’s new and noteworthy.
If you’re curious, join the private Beyond Books Club group on Facebook. The group will be labeled “closed,” but anyone who requests to join and answers a question will be approved. And pick up a copy of Pure Land. We’ll be suggesting some related reading/watching/listening over the next few weeks.
And, of course, tell us what you’re thinking about in the meantime. “Culture” is an amorphous idea to tackle, but that’s half the fun. And by definition, it’s something that all of us contribute to, so this group needs you.
