Films

[close] We are a bunch of nerds who have a genuine interest in reading and discussing good and offbeat literature; the kind that makes one crave simpler times or compels one to think beyond the confines of one's thoughts' haven. We don't generalize books but try to make our reads versatile. Cinema and music entice us too, so, you are welcome if you have a few good ones up your sleeves. We are intermittently active as the group is still in its nascent stage. We also recommend books and movies so, people who are new to reading, watching films and listening to music can join too. Lastly, we hope you will engage with us as we dig into the past to connect with Holden Caulfield's teenage angst, roam amidst the quaint snow-capped villages of Dehra in Ruskin Bond's tales, prepare a survival guide for a dystopian end from 1984, celebrate female resilience in the characters and texts of Virginia Woolf, Margaret Atwood and Kamla Bhasin and seek other authors & poets whose literary prowess can make or break ideas, stir up a revolution of sentiments and drive the masses to act, vent, clout, shout, cry and revolt as they have done countless times in past. Of course, this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the varied world of literature. We'll be doing more and hope to have a great time at it! After all, Tolkien about literature is our Hobbit :) P.S. Please don't pay attention to the group's category. Group Icon by Joan Wong

[close] Every couple of months we do a readathon. The prompts are based on movies. Everyone is free to join.
