[close] “I have always imagined paradise will be a kind of library.” – Jorge Luis Borges Borges imagined just right and you, don’t have to just imagine. We, at the Book Club, IIT Kanpur, have just brought down that paradise loaded with a diverse collection of books and not to mention, comfy bean-bags for the feel of it. Whether you are new to the world of books or a dedicated bookworm, we got your back covered. Our collections include Fiction, Non-Fiction, Science Fiction, Fantasy, Classics, Poetry, Drama, Collections, Comics, Popular Science, Self Help, Romance, Biographies, Autobiographies, Bengali and Hindi. The SAC Book Club comes under the Cultural Council of the Students’ Gymkhana. It is maintained and operated by a team of 3 coordinators and 14 secretaries who work on a completely voluntary basis. During the semester, the club opens 7 days a week, for 1 hour on weekdays (9-10 pm) and 2 hours on the weekends (8-10 pm). We also conduct events, ranging from bookish-themed competitions and fun get-togethers to our flagship event, The Halloween Party! Do drop by and see us sometime. We can have our little, adventurous trips to new worlds!

[close] A place to read and discuss some great science books from across all fields of biology, chemistry, and physics. Add suggestions to the group's shelves and I'll make polls to decide what to read next, so vote for the one you want. All discussion threads are open indefinitely, so feel free to join in, contribute, share links to cool things you find etc whenever. We aim to read one book every two weeks.

[close] Book group for staff based at Oxford University Museum of Natural History. A place to share things you've read and what you thought, as well as a place to voice what you'd would like to read and get people's thoughts. We will post regular recommendations. Comments are welcome even if you haven't read the books(!).
