Apple Books is starting a new book club called "Strombo's Lit," It will bring a unique curation of literary titles for people to read whenever they feel like going back to the habit. The list got curated by George "Strombo" Stroumboulopolous, the famous Apple Music Hits host from Canada, bringing some of his top picks for the reading selections.
Apple Books: Book Club "Strombo's Lit" Launches in Platform
"Strombo's Lit" airs in both the Apple Music app as a podcast and the Apple Books app as a curated list that presents a book club on the platform for people to join in. The book club is not limited or exclusive to its members but would require a subscription for Apple Music to access the podcast and hear about the titles' discussion.
The "Strombo's Lit" in the Apple Books app would connect users to different titles every week and help people discover books to read and re-discover. It includes literary works from Maya Angelou to Gore Vidal, to which Strombo previously shared an interview before.
The first feature of the book club is author Neal Stephenson, focusing on the author's work called "Termination Shock." Strombo would also bring an interview with the author to the podcast.

The book club brings a series of fine selections from Strombo, hence "Strombo's Lit," signifying both the Gen Z term of "Lit" meaning hot, and "lit" short for the word "literature." Strombo had experience in Canada during his stint as a talk show host to interview numerous authors in his career, and the selection he mustered for this book club is massive.
Apple's Ventures into Lifestyle Tech and Content
Apple has many ventures into lifestyle tech and content, including Apple Music's curated playlists, selections, and offers in the platform. There is much content for Apple Music, as the playlists from its editors and staff, focusing on the many influential tunes available in the forum for users to listen in.
It is also famous for its shows on the Apple TV+ streaming platform that resembles Netflix and other online databases for movies and series.
The company also ventured for the Apple TV+ to have the NFL Sunday Ticket last year, to which it acquired and secured the rights to stream the games that took it from DirecTV.
Apple's next focus is the Books app, which is the company's take on an online book and PDF reader that is native to the iOS, iPadOS, and macOS platforms. The return of people to books, in both physical and e-book manifestations, shows that the print literature industry is not yet dead, and it remains an essential aspect of society.
