How it's used
Refers specifically to a social or academic gathering where members discuss a shared text, rather than just a group of students studying for an exam. While it can describe the organization itself, it is most frequently used to refer to the recurring event or meeting session. It carries a slightly intellectual or hobbyist tone, often associated with literature or self-improvement circles.
