What Silent Book Club is Reading: April 2020

One of the things I look forward to every month is the Columbus, Ohio chapter of Silent Book Club meeting. Everyone brings their own book and reads together quietly for an hour, then we all nerd out about books afterward. If you're in the area, you should come hang out with us!

And, for the foreseeable future, you can hang out with us even if you’re not in the area since we’re meeting virtually! We meet on the second Tuesday of every month at 6:30pm.

Here’s what everyone was reading in April:

  • Sounds Like Titanic: A Memoir by Jessica Chiccehitto Hindman

  • The War for Kindness: Building Empathy in a Fractured World by Jamil Zaki

  • Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain by Oliver Sacks

  • The Power by Naomi Alderman

  • The Burning Maze by Rick Riordan

  • The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie

  • Murder in Mesopotamia by Agatha Christie

  • See You in the Piazza: New Places to Discover in Italy by Frances Mayes

  • Unlocking Italian with Paul Noble: Your key to language success with the bestselling language coach by Paul Noble

  • Petit by Hubert

  • Cyclonopedia: Complicity with Anonymous Materials by Reza Negarestani

  • Everything I Ever Needed to Know About I Learned from Monty Python by Brian Cogan and Jeff Massey

  • By George by Wesley Stace

There are Silent Book Club chapters throughout and US and several around the world, so if you're not in Columbus, OH, check the events on the SBC website to find one near you. And regardless of where you are, we’d love for you to join us virtually. Event info will be posted in the Silent Book Club - Columbus Facebook group.

In the meantime, I hope you’ll connect meaningfully with book nerd communities online, including the Silent Book Club Facebook group. (Note: the general Silent Book Club Facebook group and the Silent Book Club - Columbus Facebook group are two different groups.)
