Social Saturdays: Book Club

Love books and also museums? Join us at the Living Museum of Logan for Social Saturdays: Book Club.

Connect with fellow readers, explore a variety of genres and dive into stories inspired by museum themes and exhibitions.

The book for March’s session is The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury.

Book Synopsis:

If El Greco had painted miniatures in his prime, no bigger than your hand, infinitely detailed, with his sulphurous colour and exquisite human anatomy, perhaps he might have used this man’s body for his art… Yet the Illustrated Man has tried to burn the illustrations off. He’s tried sandpaper, acid, and a knife. Because, as the sun sets, the pictures glow like charcoals, like scattered gems. They quiver and come to life. Tiny pink hands gesture, tiny mouths flicker as the figures enact their stories – voices rise, small and muted, predicting the future. Here are sixteen tales: sixteen illustrations… the seventeenth is your own future told on the skin of the Illustrated Man.

How does this book club work?

First, book your free ticket to the book club session, and read the selected book at your own pace. After reading the book, join us at the Living Museum of Logan for a relaxed discussion over tea and biscuits, where we will explore the book together and discuss everyone’s thoughts.
