What Silent Book Club is Reading: August 2020

What Silent Book Club is Reading: August 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 via Zoom.

Here's what folks are reading this month:

  • Vincent’s Books: Van Gogh and the Writers Who Inspired Him by Mariella Guzzoni

  • I’ll Be Seeing You by Suzanne Hayes

  • The Magus by John Fowles

  • Atomic Habits: An Easy and Proven Way to Build Good Habits and Break Bad Ones by James Clear

  • The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins

  • The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson 

  • Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi

  • New Orleans Noir by Julie Smith

  • Gravity’s Rainbow by Thomas Pynchon

  • Murder in Mesopotamia by Agatha Christie 

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.)
