This is the space devoted to the exploits of the reading
group, which was born because some random people (united in their love
for reading and discussing things on the internet) stumbled upon each
other. The mode of operation is simple: we short-list books, vote for
our favourites, read the chosen one and then spend aeons discussing the
characters, the themes, the incidents and whatever else that catches our
fancy...
Remember to click on the "play" button to listen to a
nice song as you read through the selection of books up for voting...

The reading group
will shortly hold a vote on a book which we will discuss over the next
days. The current top contenders are:
- Extremely
Loud and Incredibly Close - because a child's longing and
yearning are precious.
- Candide - because the
human world is largely disutopian.
- The
Reader (Der Vorleser) - because human history is dark and
provocative.
- Three Cups of Tea - because we must
hear out the message of love.
- No One Loved
Gorillas More - because all life is interrelated and it is not
difficult to understand each other's language.
- East
of Eden - because the choice is always in one's own hands, and
not in the inherited genes.
- The Alchemist
- because happiness is the result of a conspiracy of the Universe.
- The
Life of Pi - because we can choose the story we will believe.
- A
Long Way Down - because life is easy.
- The
Percy Jackson Series - because there is a hero in all of us .
The book chosen for the fourth round is THREE CUPS OF TEA. The
discussions for the book will be summarised in the final pages.
A
pdf version of
the book is available (if you don't have
the original book/don't intend to buy it). The pdf file can be
downloaded here (thank you Pinki for the link):
