Does anyone know the next nomination?
No worries higamos. Myself and ladhrann are going to nominate next, so mine's Arthur and George by Julian Barnes. There always seems to be one or two copies in Charlie Byrnes.

When's the next meeting on folks? Been meaning to start going for an age..
Hi detoxkid.
We meet in the Cottage Bar every second Tuesday. People tend to show up anytime between 8.30 and 9pm, just look for the table with a coupla books on it and that's likely to be us. We're hoping to get some new members soon, as some have left us for distant shores in the last few months. 0 -

I am new to this, but do read a bit so I will try and get a hold of the nominated book by Julian Barnes. Have read a lot of his stuff and I like his writing a lot, but have not read this particular book. You never know I might make one of the meetings in the future.
All the best. 0 -

I hope all our recent (e)migrants are doing well in their new countries/cities. We were just wondering whether anyone else besides bethm will be "home for Christmas"? Answers on postcards please!
The reason I'm asking is because we will start planning our annual X-mas shindig, so it would be good to be able to co-ordinate the date with everyone. bethm (and anyone else coming back), please post on when you are getting here and anything else that's relevant. Or PM me. Thanks!

A big strike-out regarding "Watchmen" at the City Centre library yesterday. It's about 60% Manga in there (own estimate).
I know that "Watchmen" is the next week's read now, but I guess I'll just get cracking on "Arthur and George" anyway, since that's the book I actually managed to get hold of. I'll have to try and borrow "Watchmen" from one of ye on Tuesday! :pac:
Till then...0 -
Hi there, I'm afraid I won't be home at Christmas. The only reason I am getting Christmas Day off is because it's on a Sunday this year.
Hope ye have fun and frolics at the party
I joined a book club over here yesterday and lets just say it is far more "clubby" than this book club. Take whatever meaning you want from that!0 -

I can give you my copy next week geekychick. Maybe we could review both books at the following meeting and talk about other things for a change on Tuesday? 0 -

It could have went a few different ways eh?
For example there was a geography quiz about the Middle East because one of the main character's in the book is from Iran and also there was quotes from the book and questions to discuss and answer. Miles away from the laid back Galway book club, ha!
Hope ye have a great time at the party 0 -

And I was able to share a copy of Watchmen with a member.
Any updates on the Christmas bash?
Yes, thanks for that, ladhrann, enjoying Watchmen at the mo.
No updates on the Christmas bash as yet, but I'll get the ball rolling on the date, so things should be simpler from there.
Does Saturday the 17th suit everyone (or the most of us, anyway)? As things stand, it works for me better than Friday. Votes please! In other news, we have the location sorted, so anyone with an inquiry as to the address etc. should PM ladhrann. :cool:
I have to nominate the next read. I'll post in the next few days.0 -

Not sure if 17th suits me, work is very busy at the moment. But fire away and if I make it, I make it.0 -

OK, folks; having discussed things with a few of you off-line, we came to the conclusion it would be better to hold off on the bash for now, as it seems there would only be about 3-4 of us there. Much better idea to wait and see when a few others will be able to make it for certain... Hopefully we will come to some sort of agreement at the next meet.
My nomination for 3rd January is "Utterly Monkey" by Nick Laird. Hopefully it's good. 0 -
