    I dont know if I told you that I atlast joined Book Villa and it has been great. Granted that sometimes they dont have the books I want but thats to be expected. Why have I thought to bring this up? Well, I was asking my pals whether there were book clubs in Nai. I got responses like "Do Kenyan's read?" and "I would not have a single clue" but atlast I got the number for one.



    This is an invitation to you to join the immortal book club.This is a club whose aim is to bring together a group of young readers who can unwind from their busy work schedules as they discuss a book they have been reading over a glass of wine or a soft drink.



    If interested you can come register at Hazina Towers 9th floor at the P.S.C. wing.Registration is 1000 shillings for the whole year(this is an unbeatable offer!) and an additional 200 for each session.This can also be done online at www.immortal-media.com



    The book club kicks off on 7th of march at 6.00pm to 7.30pm and shall from then henceforth be held on a weekly basis.Ideas are welcome on the kind of book you would like to discuss. ps:We shall provide the books for the club at a subsidized rate.

    No offence and everything but there is no way I would join this book club.



    OK, Registration, is Kshs. 1,000.

    Weekly rate is Kshs 200 so for one year, Kshs. 10,400

    You buy the book at a subsidized rate [lets assume the book is 900 shillings at 15% discount that adds up to 765, you have to buy lets say 20 books in one year [this is an assumption on my part]]. This adds up to Kshs 15,300



    Total is Kshs 26,700. [And I am being very generous here because if the meetings are weekly, are you supposed to have finished one book a week? So 52 books need to be bought in one year? The hell??]


    That total assumed above is the amount I pay for insurance in one year.



    Si then I can just get like 5 people, we be reading a book a month and then meet and discuss it....... Isnt that like a good plan?
