I used to enjoy participating in book clubs (be it in person or online), but between emigrating, the pandemic and life changes I haven’t been in one in quite a while. What about you? Do you enjoy reading groups? If so, in person or digital?

    I founded a local science fiction book club! It’s been a big success and pushes me to read books I wouldn’t necessarily have otherwise considered. I highly recommend it in general, especially if you love reading.

    For me, in-person is necessary simply because I get very distracted in front of a computer. But during the Pandemic I did do meetings digitally and it certainly was better than nothing.

      I never tried video-clubs (well I tried a think called videoclub a few decades ago, but was a very different thing…), online was always in written, which had its good things, but felt pretty disconnected.

      It is great that you founded a club! I have the feeling that if I want to participate again I will have to make one too (and will be a SFF one probably)
