East Dulwich Library Book Club

[Michael Palaeologus]

Anybody know anything about this book club? Its advertised at Chener Books. I was thinking of going along this Thursday.

If not this one, are there any other book clubs active in the area.

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

[Michael Palaeologus]

So, start our own book club - what do people think?

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).

Yep, do the Zafon book, it's bloody brilliant. Not sure about 'Spies' though, I'll look it up!

I have got the Spies book - am reading through it - good so far.

Am intending to go to the Dulwich Library book club on Thursday, am not a member though, so we will see.
