Looking for literature lovers here. Maybe we could meet and discuss our love of books! 

 

I'm thinking we could have a different themes each meet like favorite romance novels, favorite epic poems, etc. We could have it outside the national library or a gay friendly establishment. Open to suggestions. 

 

Open to all ages and races and sexual orientation. Let's start this soon!

Ooooh, Book Club! Pity I read for fun only, and don't usually like to discuss my readings. :/

SHould we have a line group chat? :P

 

This thread is commendable.  There are good reasons to form a book club.

 

However, to form a line group, the Forum has its own regulations:

All the best to Xaldyn in organizing this club.

Edatsgloh is right. I understand we're probably busy with work or school and stuff, especially in Singapore. I was thinking we could have selected topics or selected genres and it can be hard or soft copy. Like if we're discussing horror novels, we don't have to specifically find one to read and discuss. It can be one that we've read before or if we haven't read any, we can come to hear reviews from others who have.

 

I want to join too. How can I join?

Hey it's great that there are people interested. Sorry if I'm a bit slow in getting things started. Wanted to see the response first and it's actually my first time organizing something, literally. My friend is helping me out in looking for a suitable venue so I'm waiting to see what's the result. Please bear with us a little longer

Alrighty, let me recall the questions that I have and I will PM you :)

 

It will be nice to start with local books! :D

 

Are there a lot of local books that we can do? We can also go for Asian literature or continent-specific as well.

I have created group line pm me your I'd I add you now I have ready have 15 ppl

Just to clear the confusion. The real group is already started by me and my friend. If you don't see my profile in the group then it's the wrong group.

 

 

Interest to join, but I've only been reading fiction books haha. Tons of it!

You make it sound bad lol. It's a club for readers, both fiction and non-fiction. It doesn't matter if you're pure fiction or pure non-fiction as long as you like reading and discussing what you've read:)

Nice! perhaps should try to find some thing less esoteric ?

 

I suggest why not take a leaf from the SG Writers' Festival and do a thematic one for starters?

 

So the initial meet up is just to discuss books or thoughts relating to the theme. Less daunting for most ppl :)

Erm yes, I definitely support the idea.

In this day and age, it is easy to forget,

that we do need to go back to the books.

Venue wise : I would say the space outside the National Library sounds good,

if a cooler environment or air-conditioning is not an issue or easily available.

Title wise, I would suggest starting off with something easier to discuss,

like LORD OF THE FLIES.

and then progressing to something of greater depth, like ORLANDO.
