Cool, an excuse to re-read this book! It's been... well, decades, actually.

Hi everyone,
Not everyone was able to go last week so the meeting was changed to this Monday (13th), 8pm @ reidys wine vault.

We'll be discussing 1984 by George Orwell so if you havent been to a meeting before but have read this book already it might be a good time to join in

Kold

Hmm I read 1984 a few months back.

I'd have to do a bit of revision. Think I wrote a few notes alright. Many at the last one?

Numbers are dwindling 5 of us at last one but people have been busy with going back to college, holidays etc so hopefully it'll pick up again. I was looking forward to cosy book club meetings in the winter!

Hi everyone,

We decided to go with a Halloween theme for the next meeting (3rd November, 8pm @ Reidys Wine Vault):

Dracula
by Bram Stoker

Completely slipped my mind. Probably for the best though, I'm sick.

Hi,
Reidys is across from Jurys Hotel on the Western Rd. Its a nice, cosy place, perfect for discussing books

UpCork

I'm a long time lurker, first time poster here. I'd be interested in joining a Cork book club definitely. I read a lot & it would be great to have people to discuss it with!

corkgal1981

You are very welcome to pop into the club anytime UpCork! Next meeting is 5th January & we're being festive and discussing Dicken's A Christmas Carol. We will probably go with something more modern next time as we've had a few oldies.

Yes boy,

One of my favourite authors and I wasn't even there to agitate for choosing it. Some of January's doom and gloom is lifted

Hi all,

I moved to Cork a few months ago and my social life is like -0 (I work from home, it doesnt help).

Can I still join you guys for the Feb meeting?

I was a member of a book club in France (my native country) ages ago
I am a translator, so I am more than passionate about books and words

Just let me know.
Thanks,
NatWW
