Read it! Swap it! 16th August

8 July 2009, by Diana Varbanescu

As we thoroughly enjoyed our first joint meeting, we are very happy to announce the second one: 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.

Venue: The Black Horse, 6 Rathbone Place, London W1T 1HH
Tube stations: Tottenham Court Road, Oxford Circus
Date: Sunday 16th August 2009
Time: 3pm to 5 pm
Entry: free but booking is essential

The book chosen for this meeting is “Gods behaving badly” by Marie Phillips. Reviews say it is a funny, easy read, a very witty and entertaining story. Indeed, a story about Greek gods living in contemporary London sounds absolutely funny, as I don’t really know how would their incestuous family manage nowadays. I look forward to reading it and sharing thoughts and opinions with you.

We’ll retain our hosts’ format of having a discussion leader (or leaders) who’ll design the questions and we’ll all have a go at answering them. Once we have finished discussing the book (at about 5 pm) we all go downstairs to the bar so that everyone can talk more socially and get to know the members of the other group.

All you have to do is to read the book, book your space, turn up and be prepared to get involved in the discussion!

Just a reminder, entry is free, but numbers are limited so advance booking is essential. Please reserve your space at contact@coeusarts.com; participants will be confirmed on a first-come first-served basis.

Read it, Swap it!

  • Salut, Diana si ceilalti membri

    Daca mai sunt locuri, as fi interesata sa particip si sa rezerv 2 locuri. O intrebare: cum facem rost de carticica? Se gaseste in biblioteci ?
    Merci si weekend placut, tuturor!

  • Mi-ar fi placut sa ma alatur grupului vostru, dar am primit informatia la cateva ore dupa ce intalnirea s-a terminat. Cum pot sa aflu din timp de urmatoarea intalnire si de urmatoarea carte?

    Numai bine,
    Olimpia
