Sushant Singh Rajput, known to be among the league of A-listers often found buried under books, has taken his passion for reading a notch higher by creating a book club on social media. Running by the Twitter handle @intoxillectual, Rajput, almost apologetic for coining the name, says the platform will enable members to "discuss great books" and "share ideas."


Rajput says launching the club is only one among the series of things he intends to do this year. "This book club is open to anyone who is interested to join it. On the forum, we will discuss which books should be read, a timeline to finish them, and then share the takeaways. People could cough up suggestions of other reads as well."


A source tells mid-day, "Sushant is an avid reader. He has a personal library comprising over 1,000 books. While on a vacation with friends in Europe, he was quoting lines from something he had read. It was then he thought of opening his own book club."

Launched on Wednesday, the account, which has already acquired 2,722 followers, will be managed by Rajput. "I will handle it personally. It will see active participation and discussions by members."

What Rajput reads, then "reads again"
> Nausea (Jean-Paul Sartre)
> The Physicist and the Philosopher -- Einstein, Bergson, and the Debate That Changed Our Understanding of Time (Jimena Canales)
> The Selfish Gene (Richard Dawkins)
> Eighteen Best Stories (Edgar Allan Poe)
> Leonardo Da Vinci (Martin Kemp)
