The Tough Guy Book Club is an international, volunteer-run charity network of men's book clubs that meets monthly in local pubs to get guys to read more books, meet people, and have rowdy conversations.
Founded in Melbourne, Australia in 2012, the free club is open to men 18 and older and focuses exclusively on reading fiction, specifically books designed to spark lively debate rather than universal agreement.
Beyond their monthly gatherings on the first Wednesday of every month at 7pm, the organisation extends its impact through various charitable initiatives, including challenges, book festivals, annual camps, youth development programs in schools, and reading programs in prisons.
