"Life is too valuable to be wasted on reading a terrible book (hidup terlalu berharga untuk dihabiskan membaca buku jelek)," said some friends at Jakarta Book Club.

Do you agree or not?

In our 'quest' to find the right types of books that feed our lust for information and inspirations, we can share our own experience with one another. Hopefully, this will not only open our mind to new ways of reading and selecting books, but also help people who have just started reading as a pastime.

The discussion will be light and informative. There is no right and wrong; and we welcome JBC members and non-members to join this one-hour discussion. Before and after that, some of us will be reading some original poems, as well as those famous ones from Aan Mansyur, Maya Angelou, Khalil Gibran, Pablo Neruda, etc, in the company of guitar melody.

So, be there and have fun with us ;)
