Book Discussions

Seniorlearn.org offers book discussions in all genres. Our international participants come from all walks of life. Everyone is welcome. We have a dedicated volunteer crew of 20 well-read Discussion Leaders, who love to talk books and encourage the exchange of experiences and insights.

Our Book Club Online is the oldest continuing book club on the Internet. It began in 1996 on SeniorNet.org with a discussion of David Guterson's Snow Falling on Cedars and has offered a monthly in-depth book discussion online since then. It has been featured in many publications including the New York Times and Bookmarks Magazine.

We are fortunate that many authors have participated in our book discussions over the years. In recent months we've welcomed award-winning authors, Geraldine Brooks, People of the Book; Kirstin Downey, The Woman Behind the New Deal; Carol Goodman, The Night Villa and Matthew Pearl, The Last Dickens.

Some of our participants and volunteers have enjoyed meeting in person in several "Bookfests" starting in 1998; the most recent in New York City, in 2008.

SeniorLearn is a Promotion Partner for the Library of Congress Center for the Book and offers a PBS Program Club.
