Mustela Book Club

The Book of Dave

James Smith — Mon, 04 Jun 2007 11:33:55 +0000

The next Mustela meeting is planned for Wednesday 20th June (week 9) at 7.30pm to discuss Will Self’s Book of Dave, as chosen by Olaug.

Not sure if it’s for you? Here’s a Wikipedia article about the book, as well as a review from the Guardian. Incidentally, it’s available in Waterstone’s 3 for 2 deal.

There’s a plan to have this next meeting in the Graduate College SCR, accompanied by coffee and cakes. Anyone interested? Please leave your comments…

How to join club and website…

markknowles — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 17:37:51 +0000

Hello intended members! To join Mustela you must contact myself or James via email if you have not already done so. In addition to this, if you wish to contribute to the website (post comments etc) then you must obtain a username from www.wordpress.com and let us know when you’ve done it so we can add you to the forum – the link for this is provided on the WordPress home page. The reason for this is so that we can keep the discussions strictly for members and avoid random people posting uninvited comments.

First Meeting

James Smith — Sun, 18 Mar 2007 09:47:02 +0000

The first meeting of the new Mustela Book Club is scheduled for Wednesday 4th April 2007 at 8.00pm in Graduate College bar.

Hopefully we can use this first meeting to figure out:

How often to meet up
How to choose books to discuss

And to talk about some rules, such as:

Everybody has to read the book
No books over 400 pages

Hope to see you there!
