Have you ever had your friends roll their eyes at you when you (again) wanted to discuss why a book ended the way it did or why it was written in such an odd way? Would you like to be moved out of you comfort zone and read books you would never have picked off the shelf yourself? Do you like to meet new people and chat for ages over a cup of tea on a Sunday afternoon? If you can answer yes to all of these questions, you should join this book club!
The books we read will be determined by propositions from the members and subsequent voting. The only condition is that they are novels (or short stories) of relatively high literary quality - there is so many good books out there, so why read any of the bad ones!
The first meeting was held in the Bar Music Hall on Curtain Road in Shoreditch, but feel free to suggest other venues for future meetups. Only requirements are that it is easy to get to with public transport, not too noisy a place and reservations can be made - and that they serve tea and coffee.
The November meetup turned out to be a success; lots of interesting discussions about Sara Waters 'The Little Stranger', although frustrations and disappointments about loose ends and lack of dedication to either of the strands in the story were abundant. Thanks to those who showed up for your contributions - it was nice meeting you and I am already looking forward to our next meeting! Read more
