The Social Club Community is happy to announce a collaboration with The BC Book Club.
Join our Social Book Club
Meet like-minded people, enjoy the conversation over wine, and read together! Furthermore, we will read for a good cause as 60% profits will be donated to The Pomegranate Project, run by Action for Women, a women’s rights organisation supporting refugee and asylum-seeking women.
BC book club community in Athens has been reading together since 2018. At BC, we believe in the transformative power of fiction to expand our hearts and minds and to help us build bridges to embrace more of humanity.

We are excited to read together for the 4th year. This time the theme for the book selection is ‘It’s a kind of Magic’, to dive into the power of imagination to conjure beauty but also pain, the ways to explain our world through memoirs, novels, plays, essays from up close and far away. The consequences, the myths, the math, the surreal, the magical, the unknown and familiar.
