THE GS BOOKCLUB!!!

To all the avid readers out there.. we’ve started our very own BookClub -

We will be choosing books, reading them in a period of 2-3 weeks and then discussing them - sounds easy peezy lemon squeezy.

Right now we have me (mysti), CharmedOne & BrummieBird on board. So for anyone else interested please just leave a comment and we’ll make a list of whose in - Im going to wait on ideas for books from you guys so that we can all participate -

Incase a book isnt available to readers such as in Pakistan please let us know! these days alot of books are available in pdf format online so if we’re able to find one for you we will send it to you so tht your not left out!!

So here we go - Im really excited! :naach:

Re: THE GS BOOKCLUB!!!

count me in as well! :)

Though I only enjoy suspense or romantic suspense...

Re: THE GS BOOKCLUB!!!

Me too. I read because I take the train but am starting to run out of options. I'd love to be introduced to a new author.

Hi mysti :waves:

Great to see our book club up and running..:):

Re: THE GS BOOKCLUB!!!

I can be in too, unless its a women's club.

But I dont like reading fiction, so that can be a problem.

Re: THE GS BOOKCLUB!!!

Oooh this should be interesting....I don't mind joining in :)

Re: THE GS BOOKCLUB!!!

count me in!

Re: THE GS BOOKCLUB!!!

wooohoooooooooooo, let s make a start guys.
I suggest a case of exploding mangoes by mohammed Hanif or the holy woman by qaisara shiraz.
I love all sorts from historical romance to murder mystery, just finished reading Empire of the moghul by alex rutherford about the strat of the mughul empre, very good.
I think we should try a variety of genres, i'm sure there will be stuff that we didnt particularly like but thats the fun of club.

Re: THE GS BOOKCLUB!!!

I second 'exploding mangoes'...only because I got it today anyway to read.

I agree to trying different genres too....this is going to be fun.

Re: THE GS BOOKCLUB!!!

ME!

I don't want to read anything about vampires, romance or true life ' my daddy never hugged me that is why I am gay' type books.

Ooooh, good idea!

Like Milly said, no vampire shampire books for me :nahi:

Re: THE GS BOOKCLUB!!!

I suggest we start with 'Between the assissinations' by Aravind Adiga.

He wrote White Tiger. AMAZING book. Plus I really want to read it.

Re: THE GS BOOKCLUB!!!

After we read the books, are we going to come back and discuss the water imagery and how it represents moving time?

And me 3 on Milly's post - I am not a fan of vampire books - though non-fiction is good.

Re: THE GS BOOKCLUB!!!

I am in! Oh and and I don't like vampire books either. Can we keep the time to 3 weeks...2 weeks is not enough for me :(

Re: THE GS BOOKCLUB!!!

Ok guys ground rules:

1.Books will be decided by vote. We cant not include vampires but since the movies are all in the running Im guessing that reading can be on the side -

  1. Genres will be different everytime. You might like mystery alot but if theres a consensus to read a romantic novel you'll be reading that and then we can read your mystery aswell!!

  2. 3 weeks is more than enough time. Most of us will get through the books fast but please be courteous and wait for everyone.

  3. Please NO CRY BABIES ALLOWED! mujhe ye nahi pasand, maine nahi parhna.. thats ok you dont have to.. just join back in when something comes along that interests you.. or maybe do read along.. you have no idea it might spark some interest -

  4. Post ideas to what you guys would like to read -

right now it seems like "A case of exploding mangoes" has the top running.

Goodluck and WELCOME TO THE CLUB!!!

TLK - this isnt a GIRLS only club.. anyone can join and yes you will have open up to fiction.. waise to har waqt khayali pulaao pakate rehte hain.. doosroon ka pakaya hua khaane mein koi harj nahi hai :P

Re: THE GS BOOKCLUB!!!

Great idea mysti. count me in.

Re: THE GS BOOKCLUB!!!

I Am In Too ........ Count Me In !!!!!!!!

Re: THE GS BOOKCLUB!!!

Oh and if your suggesting a title to a book please make sure you include the Genre and a little something about what its revolving around.. it makes it easier to know what you are reading -

Ok guys.. so right now we're at

2 votes for Mohammad Hanifs' "A case of explodin mangoes"
2 votes for Qaisira Shirazs' " Holy Woman"

Any other books anyone is interested in reading?

Let me know otherwise we will start with A case of exploding mangoes next week! :D
