East Dulwich Library Book Club


Recommended Posts

I am sure there are but you could always start one :))


I am always worried that if I join a book club I will have to read either some tres naff fiction or some dullard classic and invariably don't go but I love love love reading slightly off-beat fiction / non-fiction

There's the book club at Dulwich library but also another advertised in Chener Books. It's 'Books in Translation' and I believe started by the people in the book shop, so just ask in the shop. Here's details of the next...


The Double by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, The Clock House Pub, Peckham Rye, SE22. Monday 12th February, 7pm.

Havne't been there yet (all part of New Year's resolutions though) but the Dulwich Library Book Group is on the last Thursday of every month at 7.30pm. The next one is this Thursday and the book to be discussed is 'Spies' by Michael Frayn. The next one is Feb 22nd and the book is 'The Shadow of the Wind' by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. I think you need to be a member of the library to join the book group but apart from that you just turn up (I think).

    • I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me. 
    • If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?
    • I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing. 
    • interesting read.  We're thinking about the same things for our kids in primary school as well. One thing I don't understand about Charter ED is whether they stream / set kids based on ability.  I got the impression from an open evening that it is done a little as possible. All i could find on-line was this undated letter - https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/_site/data/files/users/18/documents/9473A8A3547CCCD39DBC4A55CA1678DC.pdf?pid=167 For the most part, we believe in mixed ability teaching and do not stream in Year 7 or Year 8. The only exceptions to this are that we have a small nurture class for Maths. This is a provision for students who scored lower than 85 in their SATS exams and is designed to support them to acquire the skills to access the learning in mainstream class. We do not have nurture classes for any other subjects. We take a more streamed - though not a setted - approach in Maths and Science from Year 9 onwards. though unsure if this is still accurate reflection of policy, and unsure of difference between streaming and setting.
