14th March - No specific book to be discussed this time, just our usual get together: 7 pm at The Compass in Islington. See you there!

A new quarterly short story competition with a total of US$ 600 in prize money is inviting aspiring authors worldwide to participate.

Happy news: today we launched www.visiting-romania.com!

As we thoroughly enjoyed our January joint meeting, we're planning a similar one on 28th February. The book to be discussed is Vikram Seth's, An equal music. A book about love and love for music, a particularly interesting as it comes with a soundtrack: An Equal Music / Verwandte Stimmen - Music From the Novel. Enjoy!

Responding to Pan London Book Circle's invite (see our June 09 joint meeting), we're having our first joint meeting in January to discuss Herta Muller's The Land of Green Plums (English translation by Michael Hofmann).

Time for Read it! Swap it! Christmas drinks! And time for Secret Santa!

On 15th November, Adina Tarry will be reading a selection of poetry, prose and articles and, if the audience wishes, will do so in English, and also in Romanian.

Bogdan will read from his collection of short stories and poems The Wooden Tongue Speaks- Romanians: Contradictions & Realities. You’re all welcome to join us, so see you at The Stinging Nettle!

As we all thoroughly enjoyed our second joint meeting, I think it’ll be a good thing to repeat the experience next year. (...) What do you all think? 

We’re meeting with a new group on Sunday August 16th! A bit more formal this time, but still good fun, this meeting will certainly be an interesting and contrasting experience to what we usually have.

We’d like to thank Pan-London Book, especially the host of our last meeting, Carole. She invited a bunch of foreigners, people she’s never met before (ha ha, yes, it’s us) over to her house, and I have to...

A team of 10 on our side will meet with Pan-London Book Circle (a fairly small group (6-8) who meet about every 6 weeks to read contemporary novels mainly, but sometimes poetry and, on occasion, biography). This time we’ll follow their rules (well, I mean, it would be nice to have some rules for a change):

You’re invited to join our picnic, Saturday 9th May, 3 pm in Hyde Park! Just five minute walk from either Hyde Park Corner or Marble Arch tube station. If you see people preaching Evolutionism, world religions (quite similar but a lot louder than the ones at Speakers’ Corner), air acrobats, clowns, animal tamers and dancers, yes, you found the right spot: that’s us! :))

Join us for a fun afternoon!

You’re invited to join our next meeting Saturday, 4pm at Imbiss 14 Seymour Place W1H 7NF (2 minute walk from Marble Arch tube station). Please confirm attendance as there are only 20 spaces available. See you all on Saturday!

1st March, 5 pm at the Stinging Nettle 55 Goldhawk Road Shepherds Bush W12 8QP

There’s going to be a surprise for you, to celebrate the beginning of the spring, and a classic movie from 9pm in the bar’s own private cinema (cinema is free, just enjoy with a glass of wine and some nibbles).
