Most readers of fiction are women and most book clubs are set up by women for women . Fed up with our wives and partners enjoying their literary evenings without us, an intrepid bunch of blokes decided to set up their own group; Beer, Blokes and Books. Nearly ten years old and with over 90 books behind us we meet monthly in the pub.
Well it's not Rocket Science. We're eleven in number and take it in turns to select a book. We meet in the pub at 7.30 to get the drinks order in and then the discussion and the beer (other drinks are available) flows. We score each book on a scale of 1 -10 and have an all time league table. We have both a monthly selection and a "Long Read" with special events for the latter.
Again it's pretty straightforward, pick anything as long as its fiction, no biographies, histories, how to manuals, philosophy, science or journalism. The jury is still out however on the question of the Graphic Novel.
The "Long Read" is the kind of book that one should have read but somehow never quite got round to reading, Usually it lurks unseen on your bookshelf in a yellowing, fading paperback edition that you bought as a youth.
