What Silent Book Club is Reading: May 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 May:
Hex by Rebecca Dinerstein Knight
The Complete Works of Franz Kafka
Down and Out in Paris and London by George Orwell
Guns of August by Barbara W. Tuchman
Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy
Set the Night On Fire: LA in the Sixties by Mike Davis
Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng
Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother’s Will to Survive by Stephanie Land
The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde
Shakespeare for Fools by Christopher Norris (I think I wrote this title down wrong because I couldn’t find it online anywhere. Christine, apologies! Help us out :) )
The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America by Richard Rothstein
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll
The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet by David Mitchell
Digital Minimalism: Choosing a Focused Life in a Noisy World by Cal Newport
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.)
