“I love the decadence of reading on a weekday afternoon—when I know I’m supposed to be at the office or doing something people will see as work.”
Words by: John Green
We are so thrilled to host Wiley Book Club. Our book club is our way of fostering curious conversation, expanding context, and sharpening our attention to nuance.
