It’s simple: it’s a community of readers who gather to discuss books.
There are associations for fans of classics, fiction and non-fiction books.
In book clubs you will find like-minded people or opponents, you can communicate with interesting interlocutors, express your thoughts about the works you have already read and make a new list, because such communities are the best place to learn from other people’s experience.
Where can you find such clubs?
They are in many large cities. And you only need to use the services of a search engine to find the right one. At the same time, even in Europe and the USA, such communities do not exist everywhere. Small provincial towns are now more and more often left without libraries, and about clubs and do not dream. What to do in such a situation? Organize your own club! Thanks to social media alerts, you will be able to announce the meeting and find a suitable place.
If I’m not a philologist, should I get involved?
Absolutely!!! If you love to read and have an opinion on what you read, there should be nothing stopping you. It is very difficult to define the portrait of a book club participant: it is a man or a woman, from 15 to 90 years old, of absolutely any profession. Interest in literature is the only criterion for admission to this community.
