Introduction
Lunar New Year is almost here!
This week’s announcement is late because I suddenly became busy, so there will be no set topic.
Let’s have an informal book gathering and talk about whatever comes up. This will be our last meeting of the Year of the Dragon. I look forward to seeing you.
We are also organizing a Lunar New Year’s Eve gathering with book club friends. See the earlier article, “Elsewhere Book Club: Celebrating the New Year Together.”

About Elsewhere Book Club
Elsewhere Book Club
The name Elsewhere comes from Milan Kundera’s Life Is Elsewhere.
Life Is Elsewhere.
We seem more inclined to imagine a golden age when looking backward or forward. Yet, in my own life, this moment and elsewhere have become inseparable, each giving meaning to the other.
Live fully in this moment. The search for elsewhere also takes place here and now.
I arrived in Seattle just last month. In an unfamiliar place, my first impulse was to start a small book club, perhaps to meet others who find steadiness in books and enjoy sustained conversation.
Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed; a mustard seed holding Mount Sumeru.
I hope this small space can give us somewhere to exchange ideas each week.
