Books & Conversations with Rotaract

Hello everyone!

This is the social group for 'Books & Conversations with Rotaract' – a monthly meetup organized by the Rotaract Club of Downtown where we all read the same book beforehand and then get together over coffee (and snacks... because no good discussion ever started on an empty stomach ☕🍪).

The idea is simple:
📖 Read one carefully selected book each month.
💬 Come share your thoughts, favourite lessons, hot takes, or even the parts you completely disagreed with.
🤝 Meet new people, hear different perspectives, and hopefully leave with a few ideas you can actually use in everyday life.

We're not going to ask you to read a 700-page philosophical masterpiece. 😄 We'll be choosing bestselling books that are packed with practical life and career lessons and can comfortably be finished in just a few days (or over a few commutes if you're an audiobook fan).

Most importantly, this is a relaxed and judgment-free space. Whether you're a bookworm who highlights every sentence or someone who hasn't voluntarily opened a book since school, everyone's welcome.

📚 We will release the book of the month atleast 2 weeks prior to the meetup
📖 We will not be providing copies of the book. If you're interested in attending, it is your responsibility to read the book / listen to the audiobook beforehand
📍 Venue will be disclosed for each meetup separately. But it will usually be in a convenient cafe somewhere in Dubai. We prefer to keep things casual and intimate so that the discussions are more insightful
🤔 Can I still come if I haven't read the book?
Absolutely! The conversations usually branch into personal experiences and real-life stories, so you'll still have plenty to contribute. That said... we highly recommend reading the book. It is a book club after all. 😜

Looking forward to seeing all of you there! Let's read, chat, laugh, and maybe even convince ourselves that buying more books is a perfectly reasonable hobby. 📚✨
