taylorhall Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 Hi, Any avid readers out there interested in meeting up with the like minded? We are starting a monthly book club. It's likely there will be some drinking involved. My name is not Richard or Judy (thank god!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillian* Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hi, I'm interested in this too - depending on when and where you were thinking. Obviously holding it in or very near a pub would be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylorhall Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 Thinking about meeting once a month and most definately in a pub. We were thinking of a lottery system for the type of books... all involved write a suggestion on a piece of paper, we pick one at random and start from there...We will probably be steering away from Sci.Fi., Romance and anything that should only be read by small children (yes, Harry Potter!)

intel_inside Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 sounds great, i'm really interested. when's the first meeting, and what will we be reading first? i've read all the harry potter books anyway ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANVIL Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Hmm, ok - never been in a book club but sounds interesting... so i'm guessing the way it works is a book is slected, which is then discussed at the monthly meet after being read? Am i right so far? so what if one simply can't get on with the book (happens to me occassionally) - would this be our sum contribution to the discussion?

jenniflower Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I'm about to read 'A man without a country' by Kurt Vonnegut. I've read an extract and it looks like it's going to be a yank basher. Excellent! Does anyone fancy that one, or has anyone read it? As for Harry Potter, I will be reading it this summer, but I promise not to bang on about it to ye who are sworn off it! Looks like a good crowd here, how spread out are we? I'm just south of central near Bramall Lane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
