Pun-filter: Book group name
May 19, 2013 6:03 AM   Subscribe

I adore to read. And I adore puns. Help me choose an amazing pun-based name for my book group! All suggestions considered. Googling "book puns" and "reading puns" was surprisingly unhelpful.

Can we get another pertinent detail? Location, reading material, age? Otherwise, it will be generic.

Book group names are usually pretty matter-of-fact and based on the place they meet or the kinds of books they cover, and I suspect that's optimal signaling. But a funny name based on a particular book title or quote could easily declare an interesting focus, e.g. Geometric Regional Book Group, or Why I Read Such Good Books, or If on a Winter's Night a Reader, or This Book Group is Full of Spiders. And here's a list of books about books that might work as the basis for more generic puns.

-Book 'em [city name here]
-There is that band called Booker T and the MGs so something using that might work
-Sweet Books O'Mine
-The Reading Hearts Club
-Read It Like You Mean It
-Nightstand Hoarders

My queer feminist book club briefly flirted with calling ourselves The Cliterati.

Does your book group tend to follow any themes/genres?

You could serve cocktails and call the club "Lit."

You could take after 30 Rock and call it "The Page Program."

"Life Sentences."

Response by poster: Thanks for answers so far. It is a very casual group for recommendations, all genres condsidered.
