One of these practices is a book club. They have been developed in Spain for thirty-five years in public libraries, bookstores, community centers, etc. Despite their long excistence in practice, empirical research on reading clubs is practically incipient. In this article we present the results of a qualitative research (open questionnaire, interviews and participant observation), in which we analyzed five aspects, in our opinion, fundamental: (1) the relevance of reading for those involved in clubs, (2) their reasons for participating in them, (3) selected readings, (4) the development of face meetings among its members, and (5) their current status and suggestions for their improvement. The final conclusion is that, today, book clubs are relevant. Las prácticas de lectura más relevantes en la actualidad se enmarcan en el paradigma de la lectura dialógica, dando relevancia no solo a la lectura sino también a la interacción entre lectores. Una de estas prácticas son los clubs de lectura, que en España se vienen desarrollando desde hace treinta y cinco años: en bibliotecas públicas, librerías, centros cívicos, etc. Pese a su dilatada trayectoria en la práctica, la investigación empírica sobre los clubs de lectura es prácticamente incipiente. En este artículo mostramos los resultados de una investigación cualitativa (cuestionario abierto, entrevistas en profundidad y observación participante), en la que analizamos cinco aspectos, a nuestro juicio, fundamentales: (1) la relevancia que tiene la lectura para las personas que participan en los clubs, (2) sus razones para participar en ellos, (3) las lecturas seleccionadas, (4) el desarrollo de los encuentros presenciales entre sus miembros y (5) la actualidad de los mismos y propuestas de mejora. La conclusión final es que hoy los clubs de lectura constituyen una apuesta relevante y actual. application/pdf text/html application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/2512 10.34096/ics.i35.2512 spa Universidad de Buenos Aires, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/2512/2664 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/2512/2944 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/2512/6199 Información, cultura y sociedad; No. 35 (2016): Diciembre; 91-106 Información, cultura y sociedad; Núm. 35 (2016): Diciembre; 91-106 1851-1740 1514-8327 Club de lectura Lectura dialógica Tertulia literaria Competencia lectora Reading club Dialogic reading Literary gathering Reading competence Reading Clubs: Are they a relevant practice today?
