I really like the idea of things coming back to meatspace as they call it. I feel like I've been far too online these past couple of decades and it has increasingly felt empty and meaningless compared to even minor interactions between real people.
I'd take a sticky note of someones thoughts on a book compared to 10,000 reviews on GoodReads.

It only took a month in to my first book club to realize that the main reason I was coming back wasn't because "so and so book is so interesting" but because I loved hearing others' thoughts on the book. We could read a cook-book for all I care; it's chewing on thoughts and issues in person that matter. Wish I hadn't waited till my late 20's to get involved with a book club.

- meristohm 3y agoI finished reading two paper books in the past week, and haven't started up my ereader to finish the other two active books there in awhile; paper is a refreshing novelty, and it's funny I have to specify paper books. Also, my book club consists of one friend and me, and I get recommendations from other friends and family, sometimes NPR book concierge, sometimes I ask a librarian, sometimes from hn, and all that is enough.
