Hello!

I'm back. My question is the same: are there any bookworms out there? If yes, what are you currently reading? I am reading Haruki Murakami's The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.

And if anyone's interested, my offer to start a book-club is still open.

Cheers,
Jade

Perhaps we could start a "meet-up" group.聽 I am also interested.

Great. A 'meet-up' group sounds like a great idea. When can we start?

Do you belong to meetup.com?聽 I think we can just start a group and see who would like to join.聽 I believe it is free!

Just registered on meetup.com. What should we call ourselves? I'm leaning towards 'Kuwait Bibliophiles'. Suggestions are welcome.

Oops. Turns out it's not free. Starting a meetup group that is.

Oh no, that's not good. We will have to think of some other way.聽 We could start with a facebook page - that is free.
