Thanks. I never heard about him and this club. It's great to see an intellectual club survived for so long. Most of clubs or publications I read about while studying literature already defunct. Maybe interest is stronger in this club than those of literary clubs?
Do you still have this club alive? There's not much info on the wiki page as I can see.
No, Victor is in his early 80s now. I think it ended in 2015 or 2016.

Still it survived almost 3 centuries!
I'll try to read your suggestions, I'm again tilting to book reading.
I've listened or read that America has a great Book Clubs Culture. Did you ever participated in any?
reply
No, I hope I made it clear. It did not survive that long. The new Junto started in the late 1980s, I think. It was modelled after an organization formed in the 1760s. My wife participates in a book club, but not me.

Yes it was clear, thanks.
I was asking if you had been attending to any literary group or club as well, like where you met a fictional writer or a poet. I'm asking it because I've recently read that USA still has a great culture of such literary Clubs.

Not specifically clubs, but both chain and independent bookstores do have book signings pretty frequently. The author will give a little talk and then take questions. Some of these are very good.

I got it now. They call these gatherings as clubs in the news. Thanks.
