Salon Variant: the literary reading

Earlier, I discussed adding a Salon to your IPC as a type of social event. The type of Salon I described has a topic to focus the conversation for the social. As I was poking around the internet, I happened on an article in Flavorwire about Salons entitled "Visit Some of History’s Most Famous Literary Salons." A couple of the featured salons were literary readings. This would still work in a modern sense. The topic would be replaced by the reading for the event. I imagine poems would be well suited to this, as well as short stories. The sky is the limit, and something unique worth trying.

I'm putting this on my to-dos list for my club in 2018.
