Supposedly, members of this group would hold contests to see who could read aloud the awful prose of Amanda McKittrick Ros without bursting into laughter. Fictionalized members of this group escape from devious wendigos and travel to the Archipelago of Dreams in The Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica series. This group often met at "The Eagle and Child" pub, where one of its members would read out passages from Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength, two novels from his "Space Trilogy."
