Chiang Rai Book Club - Anyone Interested?

[Paul Hancock]

I am interested in setting up a Book Club in Chiang Rai where people who enjoy reading can meet regularly to discuss books. These groups usually agree on a book people will try to read between meetings, and then exchange views about the book over a few beers. (See http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/arts/bookclub/running1.shtml for some ideas of how a club can work.)

This isn't intended to be a very highbrow activity, just an excuse to get together with like-kinded people and broaden your reading interests in a very laid-back way. Read on if you are interested in attending a get-together on 19th Sep in the CR49 Bar on Jed Yot St (close to the old Clock Tower end) at 8pm.

For more details, see a summary I've put on my website at http://www.angelfire.com/space/pmchancock/bookclub.htm

I put an announcement on our website as well for you. Good luck with your project.

Well done Lukamar! It is an initiative worth all the attention it can get.

It is however not our policy to accept links to commercial enterprizes, so please provide Paul by PM with the information.

Paul,

I don't know about a club. WOuldn't we all have to read the same book?

I have literally hundreds of once read novels that I would be delighted to swap around for the same even a few at a time.

Meeting for a few beers though always sounds good.....where and what time on 19th???

Yes, Khun Ajarn, the idea is that we'd all read the same book and then meet to talk about it.

At the first meeting we'll decide which book it will be and talk about a process to get copies to everybody who wants/needs one.

Again, it's 7:30 at CR49, next Tuesday (the 19th).
