It’s my first book club! How does this work? We will post the book of the month every month on the r/Cebooklub subreddit as a pinned post and coordinate meetups through Telegram.
Do I have to speak during discussions? Nope, introverts are welcome here!
What are the discussions like? Informal (like chika), but loosely guided by a faciliator. We usually start with a background of the book, author, or genre; then start discussions about narrative elements like narration, symbolism, etc.
How long are the discussions? It takes between 1.5-3hours depending on how many people there are, and how interesting the book was. You can leave early if you have prior commitments, we'll be glad you came <3 After discussions, some of us also tend to go get dinner somewhere affordable, if you're up for that, you can join, if not, no worries!
What if I can’t finish the book? Don’t worry, it’s not the end of the world. You can still show up to discussions, but there will be spoilers!
