[close] This book club's purpose is to highlight the importance of reading and literary writing. This highlight gives readers and participants new experiences through the reading of varying stories, biographies, short stories, and other works curated by individuals here in the US and around the world. Through the club, we hope to expose reading to works and authors unknown, build an online community of readers, and to welcome people of all walks of life together in one space in a time of uncertainty.
