Biblio Bengaluru

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. Many of us have read his books till the other side of midnight. The world-renowned author passed away on January 30, 2007. But his memories remain forever in the hearts of bibliophiles.

How many of the following crime fiction and thrillers have you read or want to read:

• The Naked Face
• The Other Side of Midnight
• A Stranger in the Mirror
• Bloodline
• Rage of Angels
• Master of the Game
• If Tomorrow Comes
• Windmills of the Gods
• The Sands of Time
• Memories of Midnight
• The Doomsday Conspiracy
• The Stars Shine Down
• Nothing Lasts Forever
• Morning, Noon and Night
• The Best Laid Plans
• Tell Me Your Dreams
• The Sky Is Falling
• Are You Afraid of the Dark?

?

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.

The theme for the third Biblio Bengaluru meeting is detective fiction. Our very own Biblio Bengaluru uses the character Bob Andrews from the juvenile detective series The Three Investigators.

We have all read the tales of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. I'm sure there are many Agatha Christie fans in our group. Do you read the novels created in the golden age of detective fiction? Don't miss this one. Come, let's discuss classic murder mystery novels and other detective fiction.

This is the second meeting of Biblio Bengaluru. The discussions on the topic are already going on, online. Come, let's meet and discuss self help over coffee. Some people are totally against self help. Some are pro self help. Let's bring out the good and bad of self help books.

Please update RSVP if you change your mind later. Bring your friends to the meeting.

If you require any help call Sudheer on his mobile. Please send a private message for the number.
