38. Looking for our first 4200 Readers of 42
Sign up for a shared reading experience unlike any other
Dear Reader,
Hope you're doing well. We're reaching out for your valuable help with achieving our vision for Project Bibliotherapy;
In a world increasingly dominated by chaos and uncertainty, we empower people to read more, read better, and tap into the endless wellsprings of inspiration and comfort that the written word brings.
We started Project Bibliotherapy in a room full of books in 2020 to 'chase away the blues, one book at a time'.
Today, we run a reading program, the 'Readers of 42', designed to re-introduce reading into people's lives, to inspire, teach and entertain.
How it works:
For a one-time fee of ₹4200/$50, a Reader of 42 unlocks access to:
(5 volumes) of 42: The Curious Reader's Companion: 42x5 pieces of writing from diverse Indian and global authors across time, genres, and geographies, curated by us, in 5 PDFs. They span a wide array of topics, from books to buttered toast, nature to nostalgia, and a lot more, plus extra media links to take you down rabbit holes of discovery.
Global Weekly Readathons and our Substack newsletter:
Receive a reading list from Vols 1-5 on Thursdays, 8:42 AM IST in your email inbox. Explore the archives at readersof42.substack.com - our ever-expanding digital library of recommendations.'Readers of 42' WhatsApp private broadcast group: An opt-in, broadcast-only WhatsApp group for Readathon reminders, and more.
The Biblio Lab - a members-only monthly newsletter launching in July 2025
The fee enables us to bring in the best reading curations, fuel our upcoming experiments with the Biblio Lab, conceptualise and organise Reader Experiences at scale, and fund the Project Bibliotherapy book.
After crossing 400+ Readers of 42 this year, we now aim to find our first 4200 Readers of 42. Your help and support will help us forge on ahead, tying into our goal to enable people to Scroll Less, Read More.
Check out a few words of appreciation from our current Readers here.
Ways you can help:
Sign up for a Readers of 42 membership as one of our founding members. You'll have access to all our upcoming initiatives and experiments before anyone else.
Gift a Readers of 42 membership to a friend, a family member, a colleague or anyone else who could use a nudge to #ReadMoreReadBetter.
Donate a Readers of 42 membership to someone: eg a student who’s in need but genuinely interested. (We are collaborating with libraries for this. More updates soon.)
Looking forward to building the next phase of Project Bibliotherapy with you all.
Cheers - Nandini & Nitin
