Into the Future

Hello! & Welcome to the 756 Book Club blog!

After 5 years of reading books, exchanging emails and updating Word tables, we decided to move with the times and create our own Blog... The idea is to have an address, in the internet, where you can come & check what happened during the last Book Blub meeting and what books are schedules for the months ahead. Just as a starter, perhaps we could list here all the books we have read for the past 5 years..if I find out how to do it! ...

For your information, blog entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. Also, in this blog, I entered you as an AUTHOR, which allows you add comments to any existing postings as well as to create new postings. - please let me know if this works?! I hope you have fun!

Book Club Trip 2008 - Lisbon

This is us after a deep concentrated discussion of The Night Train to Lisbon.

But we took the airplane because we were looking forward to the deep

intellectual discussions. Oh! did I mention it was sunny and warm?

Book Club Trip 2007 - Nice

This is us in the middle of the
discussion of the book
"A Thousand Days in Venice"
by M. de Blasi.

Unfortunately, we could not all make it to as far as Venice...
and so we decided to go to Nice instead.

Not all was lost - the sun shone brighter than ever...just for us!
