“Grant Krupp was at a party when he picked up a book that was lying around with
a "not safe for work" (NSFW) title.
It was
How to Live with a Huge Penis, which was published in 2009 and written
by Richard Jacob and Owen Thomas.
Suffice to say, it caused a bit of a stir.
It also sparked an idea for Krupp.
"[I thought] wouldn't it be great if I held a party, with all my friends, and
absolutely nobody talked, and that was the whole experience?" Krupp says.
Fast forward about 15 years, and Krupp was reading an article in the
New York
Times about reading experiences in New York City where people would bring
their books to a bar.
"And I thought, aha!,"
"Reading parties, that could be a thing."”
