Gilbert Book Club: Educated

🪴 Monthly Read: Educated by Tara Westover

We're coming together to explore and discuss the much-discussed Educated by Tara Westover in a friendly low-key environment, and the discussion tends to go in unexpected directions.

Read at your own pace before the session, and hold onto any quote that resonated, and bring your questions and observations — as the conversation is always better when people speak from honest experience of the text.

The evening is driven by the group — with the group's curiosity doing all the steering, and every reading of the same book turns out to be a different book.

Whether you are a regular or joining for the first time — and regular members are consistently enthusiastic about welcoming new readers, just bring yourself and whatever you read, and the evening almost always ends with people wanting to continue.

The session at a glance:

• A quick welcome kicks things off followed immediately by open discussion
• Members share their takes and the discussion branches out from there
• Before closing the group picks or confirms the next title

⭐ "First session and already booked the next one — the conversation is always better than the one in my head" – first-time member

💡 Tip: note where the book lost or gained you, as it gives you something to come back to when the conversation gets busy, and you will not regret the two minutes it took.

💡 There is always more in a book than one reader can find alone — come along and join a conversation worth having and first-timers always find it easier than they expected. See you at the table. 💡
