This concept[^1] is simple: read whatever book you want, and bring what you've learned and taken from it to the book club to present and discuss. It's sort of a cross between a book report and a mini-TED Talk on the topic. The point here is to pass along some of the wisdom or beauty of the book, exposing others to something that they too may want to explore. The benefit here is that, unlike an antilibrary, you don't need personal motivation to learn about new topics, as you'll automatically be exposed to them during the book club. ## Related concepts In some ways, I can see this process as sparking a sort of [[Philosopher's Cafe]]-style event, wherein a book raises a topic that is then discussed from each participant's perspective. Likewise, it could also be structured in a way to gain feedback on someone's emerging idea. Instead of presenting on a book they've read, they present on their idea instead and see where the discussion takes it. [^1]: I first came across this term in the [Ness Labs community](https://community.nesslabs.com/c/book-club). The term [antilibrary](https://nesslabs.com/antilibrary) originated with Nassim Nicholas Taleb in his book *The Black Swan*.
