Progressive Pages: A Woodstock CAN Book Club

Join the Woodstock CAN Book Club!

A laid-back, progressive-minded book club and community hangout! Each meeting, we gather to discuss thought-provoking books, current events, and big ideas in a casual setting over good drinks and better conversation.

Haven’t read the book? No problem. Come anyway! You're welcome to listen, jump into the conversation, or bring your own book or topic to share. This space is about connection, curiosity, and community—not homework.

New faces always welcome. Let’s read, think, and organize together.

On Mondays, D'Floridian serves margarita specials and their usual delicious menu. Check it out here: https://woodstock.dfloridian.com/

The Book:

Our book club has chosen a powerhouse for our next read: Philip Roth’s The Plot Against America — a national bestseller imagining an alternate America sliding into authoritarianism under a charismatic isolationist president who embraces antisemitism. It follows one American family as the country drifts into something that feels uncomfortably familiar.

The New York Times called it “sinister, vivid, dreamlike… You turn the pages, astonished and frightened.”​It earned a place on the NYT’s list of the 100 Best Books of the 21st Century for a reason.

If you’ve been meaning to join our discussions, this is the perfect moment. This book is not just a warning about what could happen — it’s a reminder that ordinary people shape the fight ahead.
