Cats, Coffee, and Books Club discussion

There will be less of a lighthearted book this month unlike the previous months, but I think it has all the right September vibes.

Synopsis:
Under the influence of their charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at an elite New England college discover a way of thinking and living that is a world away from the humdrum existence of their contemporaries. But when they go beyond the boundaries of normal morality they slip gradually from obsession to corruption and betrayal, and at last—inexorably—into evil.

Do you have any initial thoughts on the book, maybe you have already read it and have any non-spoilery thoughts to share about it?

The story is pure tragic circumstance imo but then again, misery loves company.
