Monaco Bookworms

We are a friendly group of people who live in and around Monaco who meet on the last Tuesday of the month to discuss a specific book. The books are chosen in turn by the members.

We meet at 2000 hours in the Green Room, Stade Louis II, 7 avenue des Castelans, Fontvieille, Monaco, to discuss the book, enjoy a glass of wine with some nibbles and talk about topics that arise from the book.

This is not a highly structured organisation but rather a friendly group, drawn together by enjoyment of reading and discussion of books in a pleasant atmosphere.  We have all found that by joining Bookworms we have broadened our reading.  We have read books that we would not normally have chosen - and the resulting discussions have always been stimulating.
