Book Club 20th Feb at the Stapleton: Three Men in a Boat

sophie · January 2014

The next book group book will be Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K Jerome. I found a sweet edition at the library with illustrations by Vic Reeves! We will meet at The Stapleton (for a change) at 8pm... unless anyone wants to change place/time? Newbies always welcome.

That's one of the funniest books I've ever read. Read it first aged about 10 and again lots of times since, excellent choice.

Donna · January 2014

Yay we wanted something short and funny for once

He's generally excellent, though you can see why the sequel hasn't had the same long popularity - not just the title, but all those jokes about the odd but harmless Germans which must have seemed out of place as the mood in Europe darkened for a generation.

I had to read this for a book club a few years ago and hated it! Will join soon!

Mirandola · February 2014

Oh come on, you can't not love him. Middle name Klapka for goodness' sake.

KateHa · February 2014

I'm in... Not heard of it but sounds v intriguing! Looking forward to it x

Hello all, I've just noticed that the Stapleton has a quiz night on Thursdays! Might be noisy I don't know. But we were trying to find a quieter venue. Is it too late to change to the Noble? By the way I'm not sure that I will make it myself. I couldn't get hold of the audio CDs from the library until a few days ago and now they won't play on my computer. Also have a bit of a sore throat...bah. Anne

Charlo · February 2014

Sounds like it might be worth going to the Noble. I'm probably not going to make it as my partner won't be able to leave work early enough to babysit. Can everyone else make it?

Angelab · February 2014

Yes I will be coming. Noble then?

sophie · February 2014

I can make it. Maybe we should still meet in the Stapleton just in case people don't check the site again before tomorrow, and if it's really noisy we can just walk up the road? Hopefully we can sit in the non-quiz bit and it'll be quiet enough. See you at 8 in the Stapleton Angela - unless others can't make it either and you want to change the date? Getting a bit close to the edge though and I remember we had trouble fitting this around people anyway... what do you reckon?

Angelab · February 2014

Stapleton it is then! See you tomorrow!

KateHa · February 2014

Hi ladies- I'm afraid I now have a late work thing annoyingly so won't be able to get there until 8.45/9. I haven't actually finished the book anyway so I'll just join you for a drink. If you're not in the Stapleton I'll look in the Noble or Old Dairy x

Donna · February 2014

Hello! I'm up for coming tonight. Let's meet at the Stapleton but if we're not there, I think most of you have my number. X

Angelab · February 2014

Yes let's meet at the Stableton and see how it is. See you all soon!

Donna · February 2014

On my way!

Peter Crumb · February 2014

What's the next book?

Charlo · February 2014

I was sorry to miss the meeting. Looking forward to hearing what book you chose and hopefully seeing you next time.

sophie · February 2014

@Angelab is going to do a post about it, and I've forgotten the date, but the book we picked is: <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16181775-the-rosie-project">The Rosie Project</a>.

Howdy, Stranger!
