Wednesday book club, Bizenta Mogel Library, Durango

Biblioteca Bizenta Mogel (Durango)

On Wednesday 13 January the Bizenta Mogel library in Durango, in Bizkaia, holds a session of its Miércoles de club reading club for adults. The club runs on Wednesdays from October to June and is led by Mónica Quijano Vargas. Its idea is that to think for yourself and develop some critical thinking it helps to step into disorder, outside the lines drawn by others, and the group reads nine books about untidy lives that reveal the beauty hidden in chaos. This session discusses Como bestias by the French writer Violaine Bérot. To take part you only need to dare to read and share the experience. The meeting lasts ninety minutes from 18:30 and is in Spanish. The Kulturklik listing shows it as free with registration. A reading club is an easy way to meet people in a new town, because the book gives everyone something to say. «Club de lectura "Miércoles de club": "Como bestias"» Starts 18:30, ends about 20:00.

It is free but you need to register, and it is held in Basque.

First time?

How to join a book club alone

  1. Check the book, then relax. Many groups welcome people who have not finished it — the official page says if reading ahead matters.
  2. Arrive five minutes early and tell the host it is your first time; they will introduce you.
  3. Say one thing — a line you liked or a question. That is enough for a first evening.
  4. Nothing that suits you? Host a silent reading night: 60 minutes silent, 15 minutes talk, phones away, any book, finish at a café.
