*The times shown may change, depending on DST settings
City/Town: Basel
Event Type: Coffee/Chat
Meeting Point: Starbucks Steinenvorstadt
The grand adventure of reading other people's favourites continues.

Book for this meet up is Kim by Rudyard Kipling.

And we're getting that enthusiastic that the books for the next two sessions have already been selected. On 2 June (please note, only a fortnight later in a desperate effort to avoid the football madness that will hit town) it will be The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon and the time after that (if we're still standing) it'll be Audrey Niffenegger's The Time Traveller's Wife.

Keep coming, keep reading, keep smiling.

Doesn't look like a Project Gutenberg or anything, so YMMV on the copyright.

Re: Basel Book Club
about the dates, and avoiding Euro 2008 mess -- did we decide to meet on the 2nd of June, and then after that, when? Not until the 30th June?

I won't be able to make any other monday nights in between the two above dates in June. If you do meet in between, that's okay too, but I would have liked to be there for discussing Time Traveler's Wife!

Thanks! Oh and, if anyone is done with The Shadow of the Wind book already, could I borrow it?

all the best
