book club

welcome to the kasina book club

To sustain our culture of learning, kasina members give book reports on any book of their choosing, opening up relevant topics for group enrichment and discussion. Because the books don't all pertain to business, these reports give us an opportunity to explore a diverse range of subjects and practice our spirit of discussion and debate.

We'd like to invite you to join our conversations through our kasina book club. Browse our recommended list below to see what books we've been reading lately, and feel free to contact us to discuss them!
