Online and Email Book Clubs

Book Clubs Get the Message by Reading Online talks about online book clubs. I’m involved with one, but it hasn’t been as active as I’d like.

I’ve also been to an in-person book club meeting and it was a lively discussion. I’d like to see online discussions succeed as they have several advantages:

* Don’t have to try to get a time that works for everyone as online discussions occur whenever you read and respond to your email.

* No driving anywhere.

* Helps those who are shy get involved.

It helps me overcome the barrier of going to an in-person meeting and worrying about whether or not I’ll understand the people I meet. When I don’t understand them, they think I’m an idiot or that I’m being rude.

    Hi, Meryl
    I just read your February entry about wanting to belong to an active online book club.
    I’m the moderator of Toronto Public Library’s Virtual Book Club, Book Buzz, and we’re very active.
    We’re also always looking for new members.
    I hope you’ll visit us.
    Sheila
