Like men's best friend in the picture, reading good books makes the reader smatter, reduces stress, increases vocabulary, writing, and speaking abilities, and improves concentration. It also promotes workplace camaraderie and job and school performance. These positive results multiply when readers share points of view and different perspectives about what they have read.
"Reading books boosts our imagination and guides us to discover and achieve more incredible things than we ever dreamed."-Dr. Abu Fofana
At The Modern Book Club
We read and discuss books and create a technological workspace that makes communicating more accessible and convenient.
We use personal computers, laptops, iPods, Kindles, and mobile devices to communicate. We also use Google meet, Microsoft Teams, or Zoom to facilitate our online meetings and discussions.
We also meet when needed, at a library, a break room (at work), a public park, and any physical location where members can discuss, share views and opinions, and have fun.
We Do Great Things
We advocate for book access and reading equality across the globe.
We collaborate with libraries, bookstores, educational institutions, philanthropic organizations, individual book owners, business organizations, and state and federal agencies. We launch book drives and collect, donate, and distribute books to communities and individuals with little or no access to books and libraries worldwide.

We support the literary industry. We nominate authors for an award, send them an encouraging message, hit the like button on 5-star Amazon reviews, and patronize and attend an author's book signing or event when we can.

"My family inspired me to read and learn at an early age. The timeout or punishment my dad would frequently mete out on me was to order me to sit closer to him and read. My recent book, Project Management Theory 2.0, published on October 22 last year and sold on Amazon.com, resulted from the discipline of reading and learning."-Dr. Abu Fofana
