Issue 62: Why I don't love bookclubs

But hope that maybe Substack bookclubs will be different?

Like every book lover in the world, I have spent a fair share of life belonging to various bookclubs. They always hold so much promise and, for me, inevitably end in disappointment. I expect good book selections, deep reading, real learning, intellectual stimulation. What I get is a book list that is all over the place, superficial conversation, and a sense of underwhelm. Good times are head but the mind is at rest.
