October Book Club Meeting Wednesday The 30

[Alicia karr]

Hi fellow readers! Hope you have been enjoying Elizabeth Kostova's "the Historian". A real nail biter, no?! Well let's discuss it, your literary opinions, and the appropriate for Halloween subject of the Dracula story-myth or history!
If you haven't yet been to our book club, we meet the last Wednesday evening of the month in Recoleta at 7:00 PM. I supply the beverages and people bring snacks to share. We also have a free book exchange-for every book you bring you get to take one away!
If you haven't yet read this book and want to come anyway, feel free to attend. There also is a thorough summary of the book that was posted in a book club thread last month and is available through Wikipedia I believe. To RSVP just Post that you'd like to come on this thread and I'll PM you with the address. Until the 30th!

And now with the election suspense over, how about something more cultural to discuss, like a literary phenomena ? We and Vlad Tepes await you, Wednesday October 30 (appropriately the night before Halloween) 7:00 to discuss "the Historian". Come meet other expats and share some coffee, books (bring one you've read, take one you haven't!) light snacks and conversation in English. Near the recoleta cemetary. Please RSVP BY PM or in this thread. I will then PM you the exact address.
