Welcome to Sydney Central Book Corner!

Our book club has existed since 2006. And we believe we have a winning model, with several long term members.

We usually meet on the first Monday or Tuesday of each month (FEB-NOV) in Sydney CBD or Surry Hills area, close to public transport. Meeting at 6.30pm for a 7pm book discussion start.

In January we meet (for a Sunday brunch or on a weeknight) to discuss a book to movie/tv series adaptation & in December we meet on a weeknight for Christmas drinks & to chat about our favourite reads of the year.

Around February & August each year the next 4-6 books we are discussing are published. Members jointly select the books we discuss by an online nomination & voting survey. Financial Members are invited to nominate 1-2 books & then all members are invited to vote by rating each of the nominated books on a scale of 1 thru 4.

Some features of our group are:

* Democratic selection of books. Financial members can nominate & all members can vote;

* We like to give plenty of notice of the books we will be reading and when;

* We usually favour books that have made it to the library to keep purchase costs for our members down;

* We keep meeting sizes small - max. 14-16, so that everyone attending can join in the group discussion;

*We share the cost of running our group from meetup. Annual membership is encouraged, but a casual fee per-meeting is also offered. For all new members, first two (2) attendances are free.

If you have any further questions about our group please message us.

We look forward to meeting you at one of our meetings soon!
