Smithtown Bookworms Society

Dive into a sea of prose with the illustrious Smithtown Bookworms Society, where pages turn and debates rage over whether Shakespeare was better than contemporary romance novels (hint: the answer is always more complicated). In this society, love for literature transcends genres, and we delight in the torn pages of paperbacks as we dissect novels over half-brewed coffee that tastes like regret and pastries that could use a few extra days in the oven. Join us as we explore the various worlds crafted by both local authors and national treasures; we'll even throw in the occasional dramatic reading or a heated argument complete with mildly accurate reenactments. Let’s not forget our infamous ‘Bookish Bingo’ nights, where checking off the ‘not-so-great-plot-twist’ and referencing obscure writers is encouraged. Come armed with your dog-eared favorites and obscure recommendations, because we know the performance of ‘I was once a published author’ can be as entertaining as any novel. Join us in literary camaraderie where every meeting is an open page waiting for your wit to spill over and maybe, just maybe, we’ll realize we’re the main character of this chapter, too.
