Arrival - March 2026 Book Club
Wed, Mar 18 · 6:30 PM GMT
Ballymun Library, Ballymun Rd, Dublin 9, D11 DCR7,, Dublin, IE
The March book is the the short story Arrival by Ted Chiang.

It forms part of two books. Arrival itself (because of its connection to the movie of the same name) and Stories of Your Life and Others. You can read it in either. And probably some good other short stories in either edition that would be worth reading.

This will give people even more time to read our April book club, which will be massive...
