In the opening chapter of this series, I shared insights into the joys that fuel writers’ passion, presenting a narrative around a pivotal 1980s writers' conference — an account warmly embraced by fellow writers.
In this next installment, I invite you to join me in exploring the profound joys that resonate with readers. Readers might find this story equally engaging and enriching, much like the earlier part did for us writers.
This journey unfolds within the intimate atmosphere of a particular book club led by an inspirational and charismatic figure, Andy, from the same era, the golden years of the 1980s, when physical books were still cherished.
In the heart of our unique and intimate book club, established by around 50 thought leaders and polymaths from different disciplines, my literary adventure began with Andy’s leadership, a soulmate whose fervor for reading would spark a lifelong love affair with written words.
