Book Club
Books + friendship = book club
“For most people, what is so painful about reading is that you read something and you don't have anybody to share it with. In part what the book club opens up is that people can read a book and then have someone else to talk about it with. Then they see that a book can lead to the pleasure of conversation, that the solitary act of reading can actually be a part of the path to communion and community.” - Bell Hooks
This quote by Bell Hooks aptly describes the true essence of the IWA Book Club It’s a place for all reading enthusiasts to come together every 2nd Wednesday of the month and debate on different aspect of a book with great passion and conviction.
