    With the advent of technology surging through and making its presence felt in most aspects of our everyday lives, it leads me to wonder if the digital touch is something that everyone desires. We have seen music and the news going the digitized route in recent years, but one thing that struck me is the existence of physical books. I was never an avid reader.The last I remembered reading a book was a decade ago, not counting mundane lecture notes and prints for formal education purposes. Yet, there are numerous people that I have met who loves reading a physical book, citing the vibe and the feeling that an e-book will never be able to replace.

    With a growing community of readers, several book clubs in Singapore remain popular among the masses as members get to enjoy reading and exploring new kinds of books while conversing with other like-minded people. Most importantly, these book clubs allow members to forge a bond through books where they can get to know each other better and engage in conversations within the community. Here are some book clubs in Singapore that brings a community within a community closer to one another and help form meaningful relationships.

    Collaborative events are also held occasionally, which include meeting authors, book signing sessions, book promotions, and book sales. Not only will you be able to enjoy reading while having your pint of beer, but you will have the opportunity to make new friends as well. For beer lovers, this book club is one for you to take note.
