Are books in your blood? Are you an in-your-face reader? A closet bookworm? MCG’s three Book Groups cater for those who love to read books and then talk about them. With our focus on Southeast Asian fiction and non-fiction, what better way to vicariously experience all the region has to offer? Once a month avid readers gather to discuss a book the group has chosen.
Belonging to a book group means additional enrolment and commitment, as each member hosts one morning session and acts as discussion leader once during the year. Following a meeting, the discussion leader writes a short review of the book and the group’s response, which is published in the MCG newsletter and on the website.
To give you a flavour of our reading experience, our recent selections are here.
Spaces become available in each of the two groups on an ad hoc basis as members move on.
For all queries contact the convenor on bookgroup@mcgkl.org
