AA Book Club
AA Book Club Literature Study Guide
The AA Book Club is a group of men and women who read, study and practice the literature. We have concluded to publish an anonymous website setting forth a detailed analysis of A.A. literature to share with others. We shall bring to the task our combined experience and knowledge.
We also host a private Facebook group for the sole purpose of discussing AA and AA-related literature and offer links to other informative sources on AA history, writings and speakers on our blog. Please follow us on Instagram for posts on AA literature, history and sometimes humor:

Anyone in AA who loves the literature is already a member of the AA Book Club. There are no meetings, but you can participate by joining the discussion on our Facebook group, reading the blog and using our study guide. Take what you can from these resources and Pass It On. We'd love to hear from you via E-Mail (aa_bookclub@aol.com) or read your comments on the blog or IG feed!
We note with appreciation that A.A. literature is published without personal attribution, and humbly follow this example with our unofficial offerings:
