Starting a book club

[claire3]

Hello,

Is there anyone else out there like me - with toddlers - missing the days when they had time to read for enjoyment?! I'd really love to join a book club with people in a similar situation where the emphasis is as much as meeting up for fun at the end as well as discussing the book over a glass of wine or two. Ideally I'm looking to meet up with people once a month either at a local venue or at my/others' houses if that's not too much of an imposition.

Let me know what you think!

Thanks.

Have a look at "Whats on In East Dulwich", there two book clubs on the go.

Brilliant, thank you.

My wife goes to a book club, she says they always fight. The intellectually superior sort of fights.

Hard backs are always useful in that situation.

Thanks Claire, that's a brilliant idea! I'd love to get into reading again and to meet other mums/dads in the area. And even if we may not always get enough time to finish the books (because of our toddlers) it would still be nice to meet up over a glass of wine :). Would love to hear more if more people are interested!

Thanks,

Hanna

Hi

There's the Wednesday night book club that meets in the Clockhouse on Barry Road:

and Green and Blue Book Club that meets wherever it can find a nice quiet spot in a local pub that does reasonable priced nice food and wine. Last time we met in the Mag and discussed Pat Barker's first novel Union Street. Next meeting is on 5th June at 7.45 for 8.00 in the Mag when we will be discussing Changing Places by David Lodge.
