🚀 Getting Started
Welcome to the SIR Book Club
How the club works
The book group meets every two weeks, and we alternate between two kinds of meeting. One time it's a book discussion — a title chosen by a member that we've all read. The next time it's an open discussion of book-related and other topics of interest to the group. So in any given month you get a bit of both: the shared pleasure of talking about one book together, and the wider, easy conversation of readers who enjoy each other's company.
Book discussions are usually hosted by one of our members, and open discussions are currently held by Zoom — so you can take part from home. There's no test, no book report, and no pressure: come for the ones that interest you, and share as much or as little as you like.
How to join a discussion
Taking part is easy — here's all you need to do:
- 1Make sure you're on the book club's email list so you receive the meeting announcements. (New to the group? Contact the book club leader to be added.)
- 2For a book discussion, see the Reading List for the next book and read it beforehand if you can. For an open discussion, just bring yourself and whatever you've been reading or thinking about.
- 3Join us at the appointed time — over Zoom for open discussions, or at the host's for a book discussion. Introduce yourself, settle in, and jump into the conversation whenever you're ready.
