Not trying to be misogynistic here or anything, but are there any men?

I would be happy to join any book club that reads books I'd like, but my fear is I'd be the only guy crashing ladies night and make it awkward.

It will only be awkward if you act awkward, just be cool. They are always majority women but yeah act like it's no big deal and it won't be

I’m a part of two different book clubs that definitely include men. For a while one of the clubs alternated a science fiction book with literary fiction, and we had a bunch of guys for a while during that time.

There are “book clubs” that are really just an excuse to socialize, and then book clubs where they discuss the books.
