I'd attended the Literarian Life event on the Holocaust on the 17th of July. Was a good crowd of 40+ people of all age groups.
Good perspectives of the Holocaust were brought out basis non-fiction, fiction, psychological experiments, etc.

TY sooo much for posting these. A lot of them sound really good. Esp The Nazi Doctors. I am fascinated by criminal psychology
@Lenny : You're welcome!Also, we'd discussed some experiments on human psychology to understand how something like the holocaust was allowed to happen.
-> Milgram experiment
-> Stanford prison experiment

Woah, thanks for the repo of recommendations, Vinothraj :) Looks like a great meet.
Wow ! that is a great idea ! Love book meets <3.
Thank you for the recs, Vinothraj! :) I need to read more non-fictional accounts about WWII, besides Maus; this list looks like it has some promising titles.There's a movie based on the Stanford Prison Experiment starring Billy Crudup, if anyone's interested.

https://m.facebook.com/events/1896221...Our humorous in-house comedian Punit Pania, and Vinoth, shall co-host the next Book Exchange Club meet, on the topic of humor.
Location: iKeva coworking space, Phoenix Market City, Kurla.
Date: July 15th.
Time: 3pm-5pm.
Do bring along your funny-bone, and any rib-ticklers you wish to speak about! :)
It is nice to read about your reads and thoughts on the same, but I was hoping we could get a deeper discussion if we happen to meet offline.
For a first meet, we could have just a general introduction and get to know each other, with a few lines read off a book you bring.
If you are willing to swap/give-away books, that would be a nice thing.
Going forward, we could have themed meets.
I'm assuming this would be a weekend. and at a location which is acceptable to most of the attendees.
If anyone is up for it, do leave a reply, and we can plan a meet!
(Edit)
Cheers!
V :)
P.S. If people think it is too early for this group to have a meet-up, I'll try to post here about other book-club meets happening in Mumbai, and I do hope to meet a few of you there. :)
