I am part of a bookclub that meets once a month and I love it. Do I love the books chosen? Not really, but for me, discussing the book often helps me understand it more and makes it memorable. I would probably be able to talk more intelligently about an average bookclub read than a 5 star read of my own choosing! The social aspect is also really nice, it’s a fairly low effort commitment and has been a more comfortable way for me to make adult friends.
