Members select from many different \u201cbook clubs\u201d on the site, each club headed up by well-known authors, business leaders and personalities (from Roxane Gay, Elin Hilderbrand and Cheryl Strayed to Richard Branson and Stephen Curry.) There are also theme-based clubs like Atlas Obscura, which is dedicated to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>ers and world adventurers, and Kids Clubs for younger readers. The premise is that an author or business leader you admire is likely to suggest titles that you\u2019ll like as well. Richard Branson\u2019s book club has descriptive tags like \u201cbusiness,\u201d \u201cadventure,\u201d \u201cleadership,\u201d \u201cnonconformity\u201d and \u201crisk taking,\u201d which is a pretty good summary of the man himself. (His July book pick is \u201cHappiness: A Guide to Developing Life\u2019s Most Important Skill\u201d by Matthieu Ricard.) Elin \u201cQueen of the Beach Read\u201d Hilderbrand hosts a club called \u201cThe Beach &amp; Beyond,\u201d designed to show that \u201cbeach reads\u201d can be much more elevating and thoughtful than the label might suggest. (Hilderbrand\u2019s July pick: \u201cIt Had to Be You\u201d by Georgia Clark).\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" alt=\"Richard Branson's July recommendation is \u201cHappiness: A Guide to Developing Life\u2019s Most Important Skill\u201d while Elin Hilderbrand's pick is \u201cIt Had to Be You.\u201d\" class=\"wp-image-18904631 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/happiness-it-had-to-be-you.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=300 300w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/happiness-it-had-to-be-you.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=640 640w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/happiness-it-had-to-be-you.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/happiness-it-had-to-be-you.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/07\/happiness-it-had-to-be-you.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2000 2000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Richard Branson\u2019s July recommendation is \u201cHappiness: A Guide to Developing Life\u2019s Most Important Skill\u201d while Elin Hilderbrand\u2019s pick is \u201cIt Had to Be You.\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Literati offers two membership options, Standard and Premium, both of which enable access to the Literati app, where members, club curators and authors connect to discuss each month\u2019s selections.
