[close] The Chai Circle is a book club in the Santa Cruz/Monterey/San Jose area that seeks to expand notions about Islam, Middle East and the Muslim experience. We intend to explore religion, culture, colonialism, war, gender, societal taboos and the diasporatic experience through ancient and contemporary Islamic/Middle Eastern voices. The group will select a book for the month and meet at a coffee shop or group member's home for the discussions. The Chai Circle is open to everyone, irrespective of religious and political affiliations; feel free to invite your friends. We want to form a loyal group of members, so make sure to invite friends who have a serious interest in participating in the club. Join us if you share our love of books and would like to engage in conversation about Islamic literature in a safe, relaxed environment.

Since its foundation, it has been active regularly and thanks to its passionate members, it has never ceased, even for a week. The rules are simple. Books are suggested by members, and voted for by members; then start and due dates are estimated based on book and the members read almost with similar speed and post their interpretations and ideas about the book section by section. Its main platform is simple, a google group. It is also possible to follow its updates on google plus and telegram.
