Is anyone still interested in reviving this hibernating club? I am moving back to Muscat very soon and keen to have a reading group. I also have some ideas that might keep book meet ups more interesting and lively.

Reply here if you're still interested!

Christine Karan | 1 comments 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!

Sahir (rivalbro) | 2 comments 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!

Santhosh Gangadharan | 12 comments 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.

Fatima (famtaq) | 1 comments Never had an idea we have a book club here! Hiee to everyone! =)


message 13: by Santhosh (new)

Santhosh Gangadharan | 12 comments 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.

Razan | 2 comments Hello, let’s meet I desperately looking for book club in Oman


message 16: by Munesh (new)

Munesh Chauhan | 11 comments 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.


message 17: by Santhosh (new)

Santhosh Gangadharan | 12 comments That is a good suggestion - It will keep the Club alive.

Munesh Chauhan | 11 comments 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.


message 19: by Santhosh (new)

Santhosh Gangadharan | 12 comments 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.


message 20: by Munesh (new)

Munesh Chauhan | 11 comments 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?


message 21: by Santhosh (new)

Santhosh Gangadharan | 12 comments 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.


message 22: by Munesh (new)

Munesh Chauhan | 11 comments 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.


message 23: by Santhosh (new)

Santhosh Gangadharan | 12 comments 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.

Luby | 3 comments 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.

Munesh Chauhan | 11 comments AJ. That's great.


message 27: by Sahir (new)

Sahir (rivalbro) | 2 comments 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?


message 28: by Munesh (new)

Munesh Chauhan | 11 comments Hi Sahir. I for one get majority of my ebooks from Amazon in kindle format (azw3).

Vaishnav | 2 comments Hello Everyone. I'm currently reading "The subtle art of not giving a f***" Is this group active?


message 35: by Munesh (new)

Munesh Chauhan | 11 comments Hi Vaishanv, the book you mentioned is on my reading list. Would be great if you have a mobi version and can lend it.


message 36: by Anup (new)

Anup Sudevan | 4 comments HI,

Let's make this group active again. I am sure we all have a great time.


message 37: by Anup (new)

Anup Sudevan | 4 comments 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


message 38: by Munesh (new)

Munesh Chauhan | 11 comments Is it possible to have a meetup. It will be great seeing each other in person. We can discuss our interests.


message 39: by Anup (new)

Anup Sudevan | 4 comments I agree
