Has anyone been able to find a book club they enjoy? If yes, how did you find one/create one? Currently only really have one friend who reads similar books as me and wish I could chat with others about what I’m reading!

I recently found a Silent Book Club chapter in my area. Everyone reads their own book, and there’s optional meet & greet time where you can talk to others about anything! I love it! Even though everyone is reading a different book, it’s nice to meet people with similar interests in my area and likely they will have read or have your book on their TBR, so still plenty to discuss.

Deffo recommend trying it!

Did anyone read this yet ? I'm not sure how much I liked the paragraph long sentences but it has some very distinctive Kafkaesque tones. The book has already seen widely different reviews from different political camps. Ex-McKinsey & Company consultants are really becoming mainstream authors now.
