Hi everyone,We need to choos a book to read and to discuss about ?
New member - Razan
Hello All, I've just moved to Muscat and I'm really looking froward to meet like minded people. Muscat Book Club sounds very interesting. Is this is the only place we can know any updates about the meet ups? or do we get emails? Thanks!
Hi Christine, no one bothered to read in Muscat, most people join Goodreads because they think it's another Facebook. It's a sad truth. I am an active reader but had no luck finding anyone to share this with or find someone who has my flavor of interest. Good luck though!
Why don't we meet? Even if it is two or three, let the available members meet. The first meeting is the difficult one. Once we know each other it becomes easier.
Never had an idea we have a book club here! Hiee to everyone! =)
My first novel, Spinning into Oblivion published by Partridge is available at Al Fair and Borders in Muscat. In case any of you happen to read this book please do post your comments.
Hello, let’s meet I desperately looking for book club in Oman
I don't know...but something tells me this group has been dead for some time now lol!
It is better to be in touch online rather planning to meet as we all are busy with our lives. Please post the titles of the books you all are reading. This will help is finding out each other interests.
That is a good suggestion - It will keep the Club alive.
ok...for the sake of arguement I will be the first to state my books. One of the I am currently reading a classical short stories collection by H. G. Wells called facinating short stories. The book is actually good and quite entertaining.
Hi I am at present reading in tandem two great books. One is the "The seat of the soul" by Gary Zukov and the another when is "Tools of the Titans" by Tim Ferris.
I am reading MICRO by Michael Crichton. He had not finished his book by the time he died in 2008. Then Richard Preston had completed the book to publish it in 2011. Seems to be a good read.
cool books. Now I note it's only us three who are active here. What say you that once we complete reading our current books to go ahead and do an group reading of our own?....I see that the rule here is to choose a book of not over 400 pages. That means a novel maybe. How about if we go ahead and read something like...murder on the orient express by Agatha christie since her book's has already turned into a movie and will hit the cinemas soon ^_^ ???
Hi AJ, great to read your comment. My main motive was that once we make our reading public then we can relate to each other based on our interests. I mean a book by Eckhart Tolle may not ring a bell with you but for someone else it may be a masterpiece. By the way personally I prefer non fiction but would be glad to read your recommendation. Is anyone interested too in reading Agatha Christie?
I don't mind reading Agatha Christie. Since I am based in Sohar, I have to buy the book when I travel to Muscat. I like to read hard copy of the book.
Hi Santosh, I read books on Kindle. It is easy to purchase online. By the way majority are available free as epub or mobi format online.
Munesh...I got to be with Santhosh on this one...reading from a real paper book feels much better...although I do real both kinds the digital and paper from time to time and depending on the easy availability of either type to me.
For me it is difficult to read from the computer.You can start the reading. Meanwhile I will try to get the hard copy of the book.
We have to start somewhere.
I’m currently reading A feast of crows which is book 4 of game of thrones. I’m living in Scotland at the moment but would love to be part of the book club. My favorite types of books are fictional but I’m willing to read and share my opinion on other books

Hi Santosh, I can understand that reading from a PC is a headache. Myself, I have a Kindle Paperwhite device from Amazon. So reading is quite comfortable.
I have begun reading the Agatha Christie book as recommended by AJ.
Great news Munesh...I'll begin reading it too starting from today ^_^
Hi all,Seemed like no one would start anything here.
I'm an epic fantasy reader. I just finished the Kingfountain series by Jeff Wheeler. I started this after ordering Oathbringer hardcover from Amazon, got Kindle Unlimited and the first book of the series was available so thought I would read that while waiting for Oathbringer hardcover which I have been waiting for a year.
The shipping of this book is killing me and I already finished the full Kingfountain series of 6 books. I read on anything, ipad, mac, my phone, or real books, just need the book to be available.
I realized ebooks are more expensive on Google Books platform than Amazon or iBooks. Where do you guys mainly purchase your ebooks?
Hi Sahir. I for one get majority of my ebooks from Amazon in kindle format (azw3).
I buy most of my books from the yearly book fair here in Muscat.

Santosh that's a great achievement. I never knew we have writers in our midst. Best wishes again.
Dear Friends,Happy to inform you that my book "Spinning into Oblivion" has been chosen as the Best Thriller Book of the Year 2017 by Salismania.com
No kidding Mr. Santhosh...I had your book with me for a while...I had got it from spinney's...oh congrats on win. Can't wait till I start reading it too ^_^
Hello Everyone. I'm currently reading "The subtle art of not giving a f***" Is this group active?
not really...for the past 5 months we've only been exchanging a few conversations...nothing of any meeting gatherings have been announced here for some time now I am afraid.
Hi Vaishanv, the book you mentioned is on my reading list. Would be great if you have a mobi version and can lend it.
HI,Let's make this group active again. I am sure we all have a great time.
love the optimism ,Sudevan. I wish to learn the reason behind this group inactivity. So what do you propose us to do to bring it back to life ^_^ ?
I dont know how this might sound, just a suggestion. How about we ask the group which books they wish to read and see if the members have them. If so, lets meet and exchange them
Is it possible to have a meetup. It will be great seeing each other in person. We can discuss our interests.
