Our club member Ronja smiled about this brilliant suggestion in a Twitter/X post by Lena Dunham:
Let’s be reasonable and add an eighth day to the week that is devoted exclusively to reading.

Let us prepare for that eighth day. It is time to set up a new reading schedule! Make sure to join our planning session on October 12, 2023—only those who participate in the reading selection may complain about it later. 😉
As a reminder, these are the rules and guidelines we have established as our book club’s habits:
- Everybody can bring up to three book suggestions for the term.
- All suggested books must be originally written in English.
- All suggested books must be stand-alone texts or readable and discussible as stand-alone texts.
- All suggested books should be no longer than about 300 pages.
- Other than that, everything is allowed: we always try to have diversity in authors’ gender and nationalities and we usually mix contemporary novels with classic literature, graphic novels and occasionally non-fiction to create varied reading schedules.
