BOOK CLUB co-organized by Leglessbird and Biliba
* (bring a book to share)

Some people argue that reading is not required for wealth, health, or happiness. Some people claim that the value of reading is for pleasure, for self-exploration. Most people agree that reading is a solitary practice.

But, are avid readers doomed to be lonely wolves?

Leglessbird and BiliBa are promoting reading beyond “The Solitary Vice”. Join us, bring a book, share it with fellow readers and make up the time for fun social gathering.
