went for a singapore bookclub meeting earlier. the topic was historical narratives, so we were asked to bring one book in that genre or simply to come with an open mind. it turns out to be an interesting gathering, if i can call it that considering only 4 people came. we started the gathering by sharing info about ourselves (well for me, since i'm one of the two newbies), our favourite author and why. since there's also someone from russia, he was asked to share any russian author whose book worth reading. i was pretty clueless when it comes to indonesian author, thank God the other girl who turns out to be my country mate answered the question. we then talked about a particular book from that genre and since the rest came with an open mind, it ended up with the organiser sharing information on the book she brought. apparentl radiohead's song, 2+2=5, was inspired from this book . other interesting stuff about this particular book was shared with us. i am no. 2 in line to borrow the book, hehe.
it was a nice gathering in a nice place and since its a small group it's kinda cozy as well. after enough talking about books, we started talking about things that interest us. it was great to find out that one of them was into french movie too that we then talked about paris je t'aime.
apparently the russian guy was my neighbour, well in terms that his in south tower and i'm in the north. no wonder he said i looked familiar, we might bumped into each other before. well since 3 of us are working around city we might just go out for lunch one day.
watching a movie will be the the activity for the next gathering. still unsure when will that be though, since the regulars are out of town. i hope its not that early. judging from my 1st time attending such a gathering, i need to expand my reading horizon.
