Biblio Bengaluru

The theme for the next Biblio Bengaluru meet-up is short stories.

About Forsyth's Novels

Join us to discuss the books by John Grisham, the American author synonymous with legal thrillers, and a host of bestsellers to adorn his long career. Among the top three authors to sell more than two million copies on a first print, he has fascinated millions around the world since his first book, "A Time to Kill", published in 1989. Among his most successful books are "The Firm", "The Painted House", "The Brethren", Skipping Christmas", "The Last Juror", "The Broker", The Associate", "The Appeal", and many others.

Biblio Bengaluru meet-up happens once in a month. Sometimes we meet at a coffee shop. Sometimes we watch a play. We also want to go to a Sushi restaurant sometime!

This time, we're discussing Indian writing. Do you read this genre? If not, it's a great opportunity to get recommendations from people who have read a lot of books in this genre. You like a particular book and want to share your review?

Come, let's have a chat. A lot can happen over coffee!

The last meeting, Ms. Meena was a tremendous success. We saw lot of new faces and lot of energy. All of us are anxiously waiting for another play watching group activity. Thanks to Sylvia Britto for organizing it. You can see some pictures on our Facebook group.

Sidney Sheldon is certainly the master of his game: writing. In the Unites States Of America, he's known for his TV works. He is the sixth best selling writer of all time.

Come, join us to discuss the writings of Sidney Sheldon. Cubbon park is an open space. The Bandstand offers shelter from the scorching sun and rain. But I think, we're better off sitting in a circle on the grass. You can buy coffee and corn in the park. There's plenty of parking space available.

Each of the attendees would be requested to introduce themselves to the group. You can talk about the books you've read on the theme. The theme happens to be Sidney Sheldon this time. Many of us use the opportunity to exchange books.

There's no entry or membership fee.

Arnab Bandyopadhyay has created the logo for us. We're awarding him a cup of coffee as a token of appreciation.

You can tell us whether you're coming to the meeting by posting a comment here or clicking RSVP on our Facebook event page. You can also reach us on Google+ and Goodreads.

My humble request to all you attendees, please do not underestimate the traffic and try to be on time. If you require any help, contact me. Please send me a private message to obtain my mobile number.

Let's watch a play and discuss it afterwards.

The Biblio Bengaluru meeting that everyone’s been waiting for! – Let’s watch a play and discuss it afterwards. The agenda is simple, watch the play at Ranga Shankara and discuss it afterwards at a nearby restaurant.

We know you read books. Do you also watch movies?

Some adaptions are really good. The Lost World is one of my personal favorites. Some have gone awry.

As usual, we expect about ten people to attend the meeting. Mr. Beans, The Coffee Lounge can accommodate more. Bring your friends along.
