Just Looking Book Club

Come and read with us!

We are reading books that nudge our attention towards the natural world. And also books that get us exploring what our attention is in the first place. We will intentionally cut across genres from nature books and science fiction to poetry and how-to guides. In part it is a response to the increasingly dead content that AI is generating online. Our theme: aliveness.

How does the club work?

We will read four books each year. It's a long-distance club so the plan is to meet weekly online for a silent reading hours, and then meet at the end of each book to discuss the book together. The pace will be slow, unhurried. But in case you've not finished reading the book, you can still come along for the end-of-book discussion.

What's a silent reading hour?

It's a come-as-you-are silent reading time where you can be with everyone, mics off, and read! Or listen, if you're using an audio book. Towards the end of the hour, we can put our mics on and share some thoughts about what we just read.

Which book is the current read? And when do you meet?
