Benefits of Joining a Book Club

Do you want to join a book club and can't decide or you don't even know why?

Look through these benefits to help you make clearer decisions

A form of adventure

A perfect getaway from the noise and daily bustle of life is often necessary. A book club can offer that luxury, a place where you can just meet up and slide into the world of books.

Apart from the adventure that books provide, I also consider them a form of renewal.

It can improve your writing skills

Yes, joining a book club can benefit your writing because you have the opportunity to read a variety of books. Reading a variety of books can help you learn about the different styles of writing, and this exposure can be healthy for improving your writing ability. If you haven't noticed, good readers make good writers.

It helps you make new friends

A book club gets you together with people of like minds and similar interests. It is a fantastic and easy way of meeting new people, easy because most conversation starters spring from bookish things.

Joining a community with different people with a different perspectives is a great way of learning.

It keeps your brain active

Reading is important for brain function, a book club is a platform that encourages reading activities keeping your brain active.

It can also encourage critical thinking in you and amongst your fellow book club members. This could be done by discussing a book together, working through a book can help you see and consider different aspects of the book.

It creates reading accountability

So I've been saving the biggest for the last. If you're trying to get into a reading habit or commit to reading, joining a book club is a great idea.

In a book club, you're given reading goals and task which enforces reading and accountability.

I'll get your book club feedback later my fellows.

An Asset?

Long ago, in a faraway land called Sumer near the Persian Gulf, the city was known as the cradle of civilization. When their businesses began to bloom such that the administration and calculations of trade numbers or purchases could no longer be done by memory, causing a drag in their mode of operations. This disruption motivated a creative Sumerian to create a solution to the problem which brought about the art of writing. Writing was introduced to the system primarily for record-keeping. Although writing started with symbols (pictograph) and inscriptions on local materials such as clay and reeds. Writing evolved into a sophisticated script called the cuneiform which was used to record information about bureaucracy and authority, and other aspects of life. These were mostly written on scrolls. Imagine what the world would have been without the collection of events or experiences... Just imagine They would be no history, memories, shreds of evidence of the past, and of cours...

The Knowledge gap

Does the knowledge gap still exist? The concept of the knowledge gap proposes that; as the infusion of mass media information into a social system increases, segments of the population with higher socioeconomic status tend to acquire this information at a faster rate than the lower status segments so that the gap in knowledge between the segments tends to increase rather than decrease. Knowledge is a form of wealth that is often unevenly distributed in a social system just like every other form of wealth. Although this concept has been challenged after the emergence of web 2.0 that is, the internet. Internet use has helped paced the knowledge gap between the advantaged and less advantaged. Previously, those who were of higher socioeconomic status were privileged to get information at a faster rate than those who were not. Information dissemination and accessibility have evolved over time. Information on the web is created to fit the general audience. It can be understood by both ...

Curiosity and the Cat

I find it hard to believe that the cat was ever on good terms with curiosity. I mean, if they had built an ideal partnership, no death would have been recorded. Did curiosity kill the cat? well, maybe. The cat just didn't know what he wanted. He was snooping around for anything and everything. Unguarded and unnecessary was the cause of his passing. Too bad! One of the most important tools for learning and improvement is curiosity. Research has shown the impact of curiosity on cognition and the effect on a person's interest in learning. The brain finds it appealing when curiosity is triggered toward a particular topic or endeavor. Curiosity is significant for success. It is a driving force that charts new discoveries in almost every field. It is also a mental exercise that strengthens the mind muscles. The more you indulge in curiosity the higher your chances of expanding your mind's horizon. Reading nurtures your curiosity, once there is the wi...
