Cork Book Club

Hey guys, it's Kelly.
I just got an e-mail from a friend of mine and was told that there's a gig going on in the Spailpin at 8.30 this Thursday - the same night as our next meeting. It's a fundraiser gig for Moving Image Cork costing 5 euro.
Just thought I'd let you guys know; we'll probably have to pay to get in =/

Book was great by the way

Absolutely, come along to the next one sure!

The book for the next meeting is The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath. Meeting's on Feb 10th at 8 in Spalpin Fanach.

And to anyone else who's reading and is interested, feel free to come along to the next meeting. The more the merrier!

As the 10th is...well, yesterday...then it would be cool if u'd post up what is the new book for next month. I would like to join as well:) Sounds like something for me!

Hey everyone,
We've kinda forgotten to check this thread over the past while so I'm here to just update it for next months book club.

The book is "Sarah's Key" by Tatiana de Rosnay.
The date for next month is April 14th; 8pm at Tom Barry's (google it if you don't know where it is; it's up behind St. Finbarr's Cathedral)
Hope you can come along!
New members welcome!

Would anyone be interested in forming a book club in Cork? Ideally the club would have to have 6/7 members to start with I think. Preferably it would take place in the city centre. Just thought Id put the idea out there

Yeah i would be interested, depending on the structure of the club? .... Keep me posted. Thanx

I'd be interested too if it ever happened

Is this likely to happen? I'd definitely go.

Looks like the original organiser has vanished to other pastures - maybe we should start a new group? What's the concensus of opinion?

Crack on, just don't expect me to organise or do any work.

Stepping Stone

Great idea.

I would love to join one. Maybe if we decide on a location. I live half an hour west of the city. Dont mind coming into town if that's where most people are based?

Would be great to see this up and running again, used to be in the old book club and would be interested if it was revived again!

Champion! Have a place in mind - will contact anyone who expresses an interest to co-ordinate. Let me know [by a private message] if certains days/times of the week are out-of-bounds for you so I can pick the least problematical for a get-together - we can then discuss preferences and make a rolling start.

I second that. Maybe we discuss here a bit of what book to choose or something, give it a 3 weeks or so and agree a place/time to take it on.

Should we choose book that is currently "hot" or something else? How would we select one?

Righto I will be starting a new thread here for "Cork Readers" - so we can have a 'clean page' starter for this new group. I have also created a Facebook Group called "Cork Readers" - link yourselves in, if you're on there too.

KazM

I'm in.
