Wednesday night book club - the Clockhouse at 7.30 to 8.00

[Chick]

We had a temp change of venue. I had checked it out and was told it would be quiet but when I got there it was mobed, no where to sit and very loud. Then it started to rain very heavily so we had to get a taxi to the Clock.

Hello,

I just moved to East Dulwich and would also like to come along next time if that's okay?!

Thanks,

Jacinda

[Chick]

Yes Jacinda please do!

Where have you moved from?

See you the tenth, dont be shy we are all very friendly.

[poppyfisher]

I fancy joining...how do I join and where do you meet?

[Chick]

Poppy,

Sorry have just seen your post. Please do join in, we meet in the Clockhouse which is at the bottom of Barry Rd., where it meets Peckham Rye. Next meeting is 10th October at about 8.00pm and the book is Anna Karenina. But don?t let that put you off. We have two months to read this one.

Cheers

Chick

I would love to finally join as well, though I will miss out on the 10th I will keep myself posted as to the next book and meeting time.

Anna Karenina is one of my favorites!

[Chick]

Yes please do. Keep an eye on the forum for Novembers meeting, I am having trouble with my mailing list.

See you in November.

Bye the way there is no attempt to finish in October, it's a big book!

How are people doing with Anna K?

I am on page 128 and am enjoying it. To start with, there were just too many words and no sign of Anna. Now that she and Vronsky have met and a few sparks are flying, I have found some traction with the plot and characters.

Levin needs a slap and needs to man-up. It is one hell of a brick though. Only another 680 pages to go ...

[Chick]

I am racing through. On page 27. 930 to go.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Its OK, the last 50 or so are notes in my book.

[Chick]

Just a reminder, will see you all Wednesday. I still haven?t sorted out my email issues but should do so this week.

[Chick]

Tried to do a mass email tonight and all bar one bounced back. Will look into this this week.

[Michael Palaeologus]

Good meet this evening. Thanks for organising Chick.

The next Curry Club meeting is on 24 October at Tandoori Nights, all welcome. If you search for "Curry Club" you will find the thread.

We will probably meet at the EDT at about 7.30-ish and eat at about 8.30ish.

Please come along, maybe post on the Curry Club thread or here so that I can book a table.

Looking forward to the FB page!!

Well done Carina.

[Chick]

Greetings book clubbers.

Thanks to everyone who came along last night for another superb meeting. A big welcome to Jacinda & Jessie, hope you both enjoyed your first meeting.

The book for November is still Anna Karenina which everyone seems to be enjoying much to most people?s surprise. Most have just scratched the surface apart from Michael who is half way through.

The venue is the Clockhouse and the date is 14th November, 7.30 to 8.00ish start time.

At the next meeting we can choose a venue for our Christmas meal.

Carina has set up a Face book group but I am not sure how you join, but do try.

Also check this month?s curry club.

Hoots & porridge,

Chick

This Wednesday for Curry Club, Literature Lovers.

If you fancy coming, could you let me know so that I can book a suitable table?

Greetings book clubbers,

Just a reminder that we meet on 14th November in two weeks. Been a long one this time with 5 weeks between meetings but a welcome since the book is so massive. Hope you are all ploughing through and enjoying it as I am, much to my surprise.

Had a great play which Carina organised but couldn?t attend.

Michael, maybe we could combine our Christmas meal with the curry club? Just a thought. No news from Alexia but will let you know.

I will attempt a mass email today.

Och Aye,

Chick.

PS dont forget to be friend us on facebook, see link above.

[Michael Palaeologus]

14/11 is good for me Chick. Page 600ish at the moment. I too am enjoying it.

Also - a combined Curry Club/ Book Club Christmas meal is good. Curry Club have identified Wednesday 12 December as the date with the Mirash Tandoori as the venue. We will meet in the EDT at 7.30 and sit down in the Mirash at 8.30.

[Chick]

I am going to have one more attempt at a mass email. If that fails I will pass it on to someone more competent.

[Chick]

Just a reminder of our meeting next Wdnesday 14th at the Clockhouse.

[Michael Palaeologus]

14th?

Here is a link to World Book Night 2013. I cant say I find it very inspiring, Andy Mc Nab, it'll be Dan Brown next.

Having had a look there are about five books I would consider and will make notes tomorrow. In the meantime please have a look your self and we can discuss on Wednesday.
