What Silent Book Club is Reading: January 2021
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:
Utz by Bruce Chatwin
Leviathan Wakes by James S A Corey
Piranesi by Susanna Clarke
Bag Man: The Wild Crimes, Audacious Cover-Up, and Spectacular Downfall of a Brazen Crook in the White House by Rachel Maddow
Don't Sleep, There Are Snakes: Life and Language in the Amazonian Jungle by Daniel L. Everett
The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway
The Machinic Unconscious: Essays in Schizoanalysis by Félix Guattari
The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead

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.)
