AV Book club
|
If you enjoy reading fiction and would like to have an incentive to read more, expand your reading list, and to meet with others to share your thoughts and insights and to hear others' perspectives, consider joining the AV Book Club for your next literary adventure. With support from our Book Club Facilitator, our AV Book Club meets every second month throughout the year to discuss, analyse, and exchange perspectives on a range of novels. To allow participants to join the discussion from the comfort of their favourite reading chair, we are currently meeting online via Zoom. |

What kind of books do we read? To determine the reading list for the year, members vote from a shortlist of novels at the end of each year. The list is compiled from various sources and includes books:
2023 Reading list, including available purchase options 2024 Reading list, including available purchase options How can I find the book for the next meeting? Our Book Club Facilitator has put together the 2024 reading list which includes the details of upcoming books and how and where to find them. Most books are available via a range of in person book stores as well as various online sources for both print and e-readers. Some books may be more difficult to source, so if you are interested in reading a particular book, we recommend finding a copy well in advance of the book club meeting date to allow you time to find it and enjoy it at your pace and in your preferred format. How can I register for the next group meeting, and which book will be discussed? The next group meeting and the book we will be discussing is listed in the calendar below.

We explore various perspectives on life, using the authors' perspective and experience and the settings of their work to provide a springboard for discussion about various cultures, eras, genders, and life experiences. Our Book Club Facilitator has shared this online Book Club Discussion Prompts list to whet your appetite for ways to think and talk about each of our novels. We often use this list as a loose scaffold for our discussions. As they’re generic questions, we also consider the author’s and our own autism and how it may have sculpted the novel.
