About us
Hello,
This is your local Book club where we read books from modern to classic literature.
We meetup biweekly on Tuesday evenings to discuss said books.
This is an English Book club which means that all the books we read will be in English and so are the discussions.
Your English levels should be good enough to be able to read and understand novels. As for English speaking it is alright if you weren't too fluent we don't judge.... or do we?
You will be expected to read at least 85% of the asked material before showing up to any session.
In our sessions we discuss the book that was selected. The sessions are run by a host who will lead the discussion and ask questions and what not. (There are no book readings in the session you have to read the book by yourself before showing up)
As for the rules of the Book club it is mostly like any other place, be nice and respectful, be a good listener and try your best not to cut off other people when they are speaking.
Signing up for 2 sessions and failing to show up will lead to removal from the book club.
(You can change your attendance status if you changed your mind)
You’re also free to choose which books and which sessions you’d like to join us in, you don’t have to commit to everything.
Feel free to join us as we love having new members, come in and i promise you we don't bite.
