What is the Canberra German Book Club? We are a group of people interested in reading German literature, mostly novels and short stories. Everybody is welcome: young, old, native speakers and non-native speakers - although you do need to have at least an intermediate level of German, as both the books we are reading and our conversations will be in German.
