Welcome!

The New Richmond Book Club of Richmond, VA, has been in existence since December 2005. Our first meet and greet was held at the home of Wayne, who initiated the establishment of the group via a posting on Craigslist. He is the one organizes the meetings. During the first meeting, we chose our first official book:

The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Nighttime by Mark Haddon.

On January 10, 2006, we had our first "official" meeting at Sumo San in Shockoe Bottom. Over sushi, the group discussed many different attributes of the book, inspite of the rather loud background noise. Although we lost one member, we gained two more individuals, and a good time was had by all. Before leaving for the night, the group chose the next book :

Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden.

On February 28, 2006, the club met at Carytown Books who has graciously offered us the use of their common area for our meetings. When you purchase your bookclub book from them, they also extend a 15% discount to us. Bonus for joining! Our third book choice for our next meeting on April 6, 2006, was

Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire.

As with every book, a vivid and interesting discussion ensued, and new individuals came to participate.

Our next meeting is: May 4, 2006 at 7pm.

Location: Carytown Books, 4021 MacArthur Ave, Richmond, VA 23227 (804) 261-7710.

Book choice: Ursula Under by Ingrid Hill.

We're a nice group of people who like books (and snacks!). We're open for everyone to join--Just show up! We look forward to meeting (and greeting!) you soon.
