"Cork Readers" (Book Club)

KazM

A friendly place for folks who enjoy reading and socialising in Cork.

Anyone who's interested in joining an informal group of readers for a banter about books then show your faces here or on the Facebook group "Cork Readers".

I will be mailing interested parties in due course with details of where/when. This will be a city centre location, on a week-night when places are generally quieter and more condusive to conversation.

Let me know when you're available in private message, thanks.

Cork Readers

When I lived in Kosovo there was a great book club that you could read any book for, and then in the meetings we all got together and did a little book review. It was a great way to find out about books that you may not have heard about. All too often the ones book clubs pick are a sort of keep everyone happy kind of thing. And also, with the other method you're hearing about a book from someone who has a copy and has finished reading it! .

If anyone would be interested in this kinna thing, maybe we could try it out? I'm not much of a fiction reader so wouldn't be going to a regular book club.

Hi, I would be really interested in this idea as oppose to a book club (may not like the book chosen and may not have it finished in time for the meeting etc)
Have you had any takers for it?

Count me in if this goes ahead!

There was a short story today by Kevin Barry called ' The Girls and the Dogs ' in the Irish times . Cork readers might be interested with mentions o Barack Street and Togher in the story .

It's not exactly high literature, but is anybody reading "A Song of Ice and Fire"? I'm obsessed.

I do miss the classics; I'm used to moving seamlessly from Tolstoy to Dostoevsky to Kafka and the like. However, if a lack of beauty in his writing style needs compensating for, the point-of-view characterisation of the plot and the absolutely riveting storyline more than make up for it.

I'll really badly need somewhere to go from here, though. Can anybody recommend me something gripping, something engrossing?

cool which one are you reading?

Chloris

I'm on the fourth one, around halfway through. It's hard to trudge through some of the point-of-view chapters in this because

there isn't a huge amount going on, it's just necessary character development without much action. I'm also sick to death of Brienne, she's so samey. I like the Aerys-esque mental breakdown that Cersei is having though.

ive just started the fifth one now 'A feast for crows' i absolutely loved the fourth book. the most exciting one so far for me.

Chloris

Really? I'm only halfway through, maybe it will improve. I've found it a bit tedious so far. I've been lining up books on my shelf to fill the void when I'm finished A Feast for Crows.

but isnt there a dance with dragons after a feast for crows.? it was released in july 2011 i think.. its not in the box set of a fire and ice that i have so i will have to buy it when i finish this one and he is writing another two at the moment as far as i know..

i have heard a few people say the 4th book wasnt their favourite and they found it tedious but i loved it so im finding this strange haha

Chloris

Sorry, yeah. I'm waiting to get my copy of Dance with Dragons off my boyfriend's brother. We lent it to him because I was too busy with college to read them. I'm so glad I waited until I could fully appreciate them; I read the first one three years ago but just didn't get the enjoyment out of it because I was so busy with academia and so I begrudgingly started the second one but wasn't enjoying that either.
