The lockdowns of 2020 triggered a rise in online book clubs, as readers formed active communities to connect virtually. They have also encouraged young readers, who are discovering classics, hand in hand with contemporary bestsellers. For example, eight-year-old Arunima Ghosh of Aga Khan Academy Junior School, Hyderabad, mails a Zoom invite to her book club friends, for a meeting. In minutes, her classmates and friends log in from Hyderabad, Mumbai, Kolkata and even distant Shenzhen in China. The group of 10 members quickly dives into the topic for the day and discuss their recently-read books.
