This is the 2024 follow-on from the 2023 BOOK CLUB thread, which is now closed, though you can easily refer back to earlier discussions by clicking on the link.
BOOK CLUB 2024 has been created to provide a dedicated space for the discussion of books. Pretty much any kind of book – it doesn’t have to be about atheism or religion or science or politics. It doesn’t even have to be non-fiction.
All we ask is that, whatever the topic or genre, the books are stimulating, intelligent and thoughtful, so that they are actually worth discussing, and that you post any recommendations along with a commentary giving a bit of background and explaining why you’re recommending it. Clearly “worth discussing” is open to interpretation, but hopefully you get the idea. Books originally in a language other than English are fine too, provided an English translation is available.
The only real restriction is that, in keeping with our Comment Policy, users should not use this thread to promote any books they may have written themselves or have any other kind of personal stake in.
Happy reading, and happy discussing! Or … if film/video/tv or the arts in general are more your thing, there’s a link for that below.
NB. For anything to do with climate, climate science, climate change etc., please post on our dedicated Climate thread rather than here:
