Our Word Travel Book Club meets every-other-month to read books from a common country. We pick the destination and you choose what book to read! When we gather, we’ll all be introduced to a broader survey of a country’s writing, and have the chance to explore connections and themes across books.
NEXT STOP: JAPAN
We'll shift continents again to explore the literature of JAPAN at the third meet-up of our group. I've made a few recommendations below, but you can always choose another book from our featured country. Read a long-overdue classic, or try out a new genre — read what catches your attention!
