The word ‘club’ has various connotations; in India, the ‘various’ has one certain definition and rest all might be taken ‘as per the atmosphere’. However, what about book clubs? How can a book club function? What might be the possible benefits of having a membership of some book club? Can it ever happen? Why would someone bother running a book club? How the hell he or she or they will manage the expenses? Etc – etc – etc and various other questions are always there once we start thinking about the very existence of a book club in India. Yet, there are many. Today, we will consider the possible advantages of becoming a member of book clubs and running the same.
