World Affairs Book Club

July 20 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 pm

Curious about the complex currents shaping our world? Yearning to engage in meaningful discussions about global issues? Join the World Affairs Book Club, where passionate readers and engaged citizens delve into thought-provoking books that illuminate international politics, economics, and culture. Dive into the latest bestseller on climate change, dissect a historical analysis of a global conflict, or explore the social fabric of a distant land – all through the lens of engaging literature.  Vibrant group discussions foster understanding, challenge perspectives, and spark lively debate. Open to all, regardless of background or expertise, the World Affairs Book Club is a welcoming space to learn, connect, and become more informed global citizens.

Books to be discussed can be placed on hold through the North Carolina Cardinal system and will be delivered to the Transylvania County Library for you to check out.  The group meets from 10:00 am to 11:30 on the third Thursday of most months in the Connestee Conference Room on the second floor of the Library (except when the Library is closed).

So, pick up a book, grab a coffee, and start a journey to explore the world, one chapter at a time!  Upcoming books for discussion:

September          Fareed Zakaria                   Post-American World (2.0 edition if you can get it)

October                Allan Lichtman                   Predicting the Next President (any edition should work i.e 2016, 2020, 2024)

November           Fareed Zakaria                   Age of Revolution

December            no meeting

January                Anthony Fauci                    On Call

February              Jonathan Blitzer                Everyone Who is Gone is Here
