JMFOA Book Club

The JMFOA Book Club held its inaugural meeting on 26 March 2022, with Atomic Habits by James Clear as its first book. Since then, the club has aimed to meet every two months, on the last Friday of the second month, and has read approximately 18 books to date.

Members’ diverse interests are reflected in the club’s reading list, which ranges from The Natural Navigator and A Passage North, to Thinking, Fast and Slow and Autobiography of a Yogi. Each session offers a welcoming forum for alumni and other like-minded individuals to share ideas, exchange insights, and engage in thoughtful discussion.

The club benefits from the commitment of several regular participants, including a member based in Sri Lanka who attends meetings at 8:30 p.m. UK time despite the time difference. This dedication reflects the spirit of the group.

While participation has varied over time, the club’s commitment to learning and discovery remains strong. As a community, we have an opportunity to encourage reading for pleasure and strengthen this habit among members. Reading broadens our perspectives and supports cognitive health as we age.

We welcome everyone to join the club and contribute their perspectives. Through continued participation, we can foster a culture of reading, reflection, and meaningful conversation.
