Come along to book club.

Basically turn up at 19:00 and decide at the time if you want to read in Watershed or find a patch of grass nearby (College Green?) to read on instead

Do you have a book you've been meaning to read for ages, but never have? Or one you're currently going through that you find fascinating and want to talk about with others? At reverse book club, you can bring any book you want to read. We'll spend some time reading our books, then at the end present what we read, discuss and ask questions.

Reverse book club is a sociable place to read and learn from others about what they've been reading. If you don't have a book, we'll also have a selection of books about Effective Altruism topics which you can read (and borrow!)

Newcomers always welcomed.

Have a look at the links below for introductory material if you're not sure what EA is about, or come along and have a chat with one of our friendly regulars. Or don't, and come and talk about anything at all.
