Watch Bonnie Tsui, author of “Why We Swim,” in conversation with reporter James Rainey at the Los Angeles Times Book Club’s virtual meetup at 7 p.m. July 28. Long-distance swimmer Lynne Cox, author of “Swimming to Antarctica,” also will join the book talk, which will be livestreamed on the L.A. Times Facebook page. Isn’t it wonderful to be able to do that?”AdvertisementThe L.A. Times Book Club celebrated its first birthday in June, hosting a forum with Walter Thompson-Hernández and “The Compton Cowboys.” Every month the community book club brings Times readers together to share the same book and then join a live conversation with the author. As the pandemic shut down in-person events, the book club pivoted to virtual meetups that allow guest authors and readers to connect from home. L.A. Times Book Club events are livestreamed on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter, and then hosted at latimes.com for viewing after the event.
