[close] Get ready for deep shit: This book club's name is a reference to a song by Passenger. I thought it captured the spirit of reading quite nicely, as every book you begin to read is as new to you as the beginning of each day, but the act of telling stories is one as old as time itself (or at least as old as language or maybe cave painting to a certain extent). To quote Umberto Eco (and relate his quote on knowledge solely to the act of reading (and isn't everyone gaining knowledge through reading?) and enjoying stories in this particular "bookclub context"): " [...] And so the only answer is that the exercise of knowledge creates relationships, continuity, and emotional attachments. It introduces us to parents other than our biological ones. It allows us to live longer, because we don’t just remember our own life but also those of others. It creates an unbroken thread that runs from our adolescence (and sometimes from infancy) to the present day. And all this is very beautiful."
