The Barga Book Club – and they're off!

The first meeting of the Barga Book Club was notable both for attendance and enthusiasm! At least twenty five Barga bibliophiles, and a few from the surrounding territories including Bagni di Lucca, turned out at L’Osteria in Piazza Angelio to talk books.
The first order of business was, what books shall we read, and a list was quickly compiled and edited. The list included many excellent recommendations and was narrowed down to two. The book that we will gather to discuss on Tuesday the 5th of May will be Of Love and Other Demons by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
The book we will discuss on the 2nd of June will be The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai. Clicking on the title will link you to Amazon for both information and availability.
We have a number of issues to address in the future including venue and menu, and please feel free to post a comment and/or any suggestions you might have for the coming months. We’ve thrown this together quickly to spread the word but welcome any recommendations you have for further communication…… ( their site is here)
Thank you all for coming and we look forward to hearing from you and seeing you next month!
