A reader's circle is a book club where people attend with whatever they're reading. The only structure is if participants decide to have an 'optional book.' Otherwise, people just bring their own books, articles, magazines, and conversation goes from there.
The idea is to loosen the usual format so participants can select their own reading and attend if they're still in the middle of a book. Conversation inevitably covers the books brought and many other subjects as well.
