| Imagine... |
everybody reading
the same book. Imagine everybody discussing the themes,
characters, and plots of one book with their friends and
neighbors, a book chosen by members of the Amsterdam community.

as the book that the Amsterdam community would read together.
And now Amsterdam is getting ready to do it again.
