Those book clubs give them a place to communicate, where people can exchange their views and make sure they understand what's in the book. And everyone has different experiences and reads from different perspectives, so even for the same book, there will be different interpretations.
The purpose of reading is actually to absorb knowledge, and this purpose can be achieved through communication.
People who like to read know that it is actually very difficult to discuss the same topic with people close to you and in depth.
Because there are very few people who are willing to sink their teeth into reading, and those who read a lot have a completely different knowledge base compared to those who never read, and their values, their perspectives on things, can be very divergent.
Therefore, it is sometimes difficult for people who like to read and those who don't like to read to talk together.
It's important to be able to access information in a timely manner.
For example, if there are any new books on the market, or if there are any good books that are worth recommending, you need to take advantage of other people's recommendations.

By the way, people who love to read sometimes don't know what to read.
After reading a book, you have your own ideas, and you especially want a place to express them.
What the reading community does better is that it gives everyone a chance to speak. Everyone gets a chance to express themselves in front of others, to be recognized by others.
This is important for people who are opinionated, individualistic, and intelligent.
Why is it that some people who read a lot are not willing to share easily with others?
It's actually not that they are high strung. When two people's values and patterns are different, this kind of sharing, inevitably, will become a cow.
Zhuangzi said, "Summer insects can not talk about ice." This is the truth.
Everyone has their own small circle. Friends who like basketball have a circle of basketball enthusiasts; friends who like to run have their own circle of runners; and even those who like to dance in the square, they have their own circle of friends and communities.
So it's not surprising that those who love to read, they have their own reading communities and book clubs.
