BOOK lovers gathered at Hotel Endsleigh, Milton Abbot, last week for the inaugural meeting of the monthly Endsleigh Literary Salon by invitation of hotel owner Alex Polizzi. The evening is intended to enable local readers to share a love of books and the group was brimming with ideas for future events. Publishers had been generous to a fault so there were plenty of free books to get the group talking and everyone went away with armfuls of reading to keep them busy until next time. This will be a reading group with a difference with plans to read around themes and hopefully invite authors to come and talk about their work. If you are one of those people who gets a real buzz from bookish talk with like-minded people, or fancies a pleasurable read around ?History for the Stupid? or ?The Book I Always Meant to Read? you can join by contacting Lynne Hatwell 01822 870446 e mail [email protected]">[email protected] or check out Lynne?s blog at http://dovegreyreader.typepad.com">http://dovegreyreader.typepad.com
