Started by investment banker Sunil Sharma in 2011, Novel Ideas is one of Gurgaon’s largest book clubs, with slightly over 500 members. Meeting once a month, the club opens the floor to members to present their case on which book the group should read, and once two book options are finalised, the group meets the following month to discuss. Gatherings take place at a coffee shop or restaurant. Open to any genre or type of book, the club prefers to foster an interest in reading rather than hold members to a strict timetable. If you haven’t finished the book in question, then stop by regardless for some coffee and live conversation.
