MET Book Club

Are you keen to read more in your source and target languages? Would you like to discuss your reading with friends and colleagues from MET? Join the MET Book Club!

Meetings

About once a month, we meet on Zoom to discuss the selected book. Because members choose whether to read in the original or in translation, the mix of languages adds extra linguistic spice to our spirited discussions.

Current reads and upcoming discussion dates

Blue Light Yokohama – Nicolás Obregón
In this session, we will be rounding off our MET Book Club world tour with Blue Light Yokohama, a detective novel set in Japan. As a special treat, the author, Nicolás Obregón, will join us to discuss not only the book but also classic Japanese crime fiction and the bilingual/bicultural nature of his writing.

On Tuesday evenings during November-March and between group discussion sessions, we gather our books and a beverage and meet on Zoom to read in companionable silence for an hour, starting at 18:00 (Madrid time).

We have a private, MET-members-only LinkedIn group, where we exchange impressions and resources about the reading picks and stay abreast of the silent reading and discussion events.
 
See a list of books we have read since 2020 and a running list of member-recommended reads.
