The Crew Rest Book Club. Books bring us stories. Stories bring us together. Together, we build something greater. Reading is one of the few things that makes any flight worthwhile, whether you are on a two-hour turnaround to Amsterdam or a twelve-hour haul to Singapore. But the love of a good book does not retire when you do, and it certainly does not stay at 35,000 feet. The Crew Rest Book Club was created for everyone who has ever been part of the aviation world and who loves to read or write. This is a club for current crew fitting chapters in between sectors, for retired crew who finally have time to get through the pile on the bedside table, and for the writers among us who have lived extraordinary lives and put them into words. If you have a book in you, or already on a shelf, you are as welcome here as anyone picking up their first novel in years. No fixed meeting nights, no pressure to have finished the book, no awkward silences on a video call when someone admits they only got to chapter three. The Crew Rest Book Club runs online, fits around rosters and retirement alike, and connects crew from across the industry who share a love of reading and storytelling. Each month, we choose a book together, share thoughts in our own time, and celebrate the writers in our community alongside the readers. Fiction, non-fiction, memoirs, thrillers, the occasional page-turner that once got passed around the crew room: all of it is welcome here. Current crew, retired crew, published authors, aspiring writers: shorthaul, longhaul, all airlines, all routes, all chapters of the career. If aviation has been part of your life and you love books, you belong here. Join the conversation. Bring a book, or bring your story.

SFH Book Club has been going for over 10 years, and we've read some amazing books over that time. We like books that can be read comfortably within a month, that have meaty themes that can sustain a discussion. We love books that take us to places that we've never been before. We just love books.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since 1966, when designers at Letraset and James Mosley, the librarian at St Bride Printing Library in London, took a 1914 Cicero translation and scrambled it to make dummy text for Letraset's Body Type sheets. It has survived not only many decades, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised thanks to these sheets and more recently with desktop publishing software including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
