English Bookclub

English Bookclub

Do you love to talk about books, and you want to practice your English? Perhaps your German isn't so good, but you are itching to share a great book you read with others. Come join the new Bookclub in English!

We meet on the second Monday of each month in a positive and welcoming space in the library. After a brief round of introductions, we review and discuss the selected book of the month, in English! What did you think of the writing style? Did the author deliver a hidden message? Were you surprised to identify strongly with one of the characters? Let's talk about it. The discussion will be gently moderated to keep participants engaged and focused, to ensure a break, and to keep the meeting between 90 and 120 minutes, depending on the density of the book under discussion.

As the discussion winds down, time is allotted for participants to propose and select next month's book. Perhaps the preceding discussion inspired you to recommend a relevant follow-up book. Or you would like to mix it up and switch to different genre, or perhaps to a lighter book of short stories, or poetry, or manga. Once the participants select the next book, they may purchase it at a 10% discount at Schuler Bücher.
