Book Club 📖: The Alchemist ✨✨

Whether you’re a true bookworm or simply seeking a motivation to get reading more often, the book club is a great place for conversation and meeting new people! Come and enjoy some interesting discussion alongside more relaxed chatter, with the book as the jumping off point.

🗣️📚

This time, we’ll be reading The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, a philosophical tale that has been translated into more than 65 languages!

We follow shepherd boy Santiago as he follows his dreams of treasure from Spain to Egypt, and we see the spiritual journey he goes on as well as the physical one. 🐑

Described as "[changing] the lives of it's readers forever" by Waterstones, "a beautiful book about magic" by Madonna and "one of my favourite books"
by Will Smith, it promises to get us thinking about journeys, dreams, the power of the folk tales, and just why this thing is so popular!

The Centurion is a relaxed, elegant and spacious bar with comfortable seating and a quiet atmosphere, well-suited to literary conversations! 📕🍷

Converted from the historic first class lounge at Central Station 🚂✨, its luxuriant environs are situated at ground floor level, easily accessible, with public transport links aplenty nearby. If you’re feeling peckish there are various shops adjacent that you can pick up nibbles from.

This is an open session, so feel free to drop by at any time during the evening: we’re pretty easygoing ☺️.

Hope you can join us!
