Book Club FAQ's

How often does Book Club meet?
This is only our second book club, and we originally planned to meet just once a semester, but it has proved so popular we are planning to move it to once a term, so it will be four times a year.

Where can we find the books?
The UWA Co-op Bookstore is our preferred retailer- they are very supportive and have Manthropology in stock. However, if you'd prefer not to buy we normally have a few copies floating around the group that you can arrange to borrow.

How are the meetings organised?
The meetings are very conversational; everyone is invited to discuss what they thought of the book. There is a chairperson, whose responsibility it is to maintain order, but they have an easy job since it is a friendly group. There are drinks and nibbles available throughout the meeting and time for socialising afterward.

The meeting dates are arranged by the seminar co-ordinator, but the books are chosen by the group, at the end of the previous meeting. So after we discuss Manthropology we'll decide the next book to read; it's a good idea to have some suggestions in mind.

Who can join?
Everyone is welcome! Bring a friend! It's totally free and we don't even mind if you haven't actually read the book.

Remember, the next book club is from 4-5pm on Friday the 16th of April, 2010 and we will be discussing Manthropology by Peter McAllister. See you there!
