What Silent Book Club is Reading: November 2020

What Silent Book Club is Reading: November 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:

  • The Once and Future Witches by Alix E Harrow

  • The City of Brass by S A Chakraborty 

  • The Navigator by Erin Michelle Sky and Steven Brown

  • The Illuminatus by Robert Shea

  • The Book of Imaginary Beings by Jorge Luis Borges

  • Picking Federal Judges: Lower Court Selections from Roosevelt through Reagan by Sheldon Goldman

  • Countdown City by Ben H Winters

  • Gokushofudu: The Way of the House Husband by Kousuke Ono

  • John Dee and the Empire of Angels: Enochian Magick and the Occult Roots of the Modern World by Jason Louv 

  • Because Internet: Understanding the New Rules of Language by Gretchen McCulloch

  • A Devil Comes to Town by Paulo Maurensig

  • All Eyes on Us by Kit Frick

I’m the one reading The Once and Future Witches and it’s SO GOOD. It’s 500+ pages and totally worth it.

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.)
