Site Map
We are a private book club located in Ipswich, Suffolk.  The purpose of this website is for our members to write up their book reviews and to build up a profile for others to comment on if they so wish.

 

Membership to our book club is by invitation from an existing member only. 

 

Please note we are a book review club, NOT a reading group!!

 

 

 

Special Notice:  The Drunken Philosophers site is moving, both sites will be maintained for the near future.  Please visit our new home using the URL link below:

How do the books get chosen:
 
When we started the club the aim was to get people together to have a drink, read a book and review it. 
 
The first book that was chosen was by Sara (Chairperson) and a week before the next review, names were pulled out of a hat and that person was therefore nominated to choose the next book for review.
 
We have our meetings on a monthly basis and therefore have on average 4 weeks to read the set book.
 
People not finishing the book, suffer a nominal penalty fee.
 
At each meeting, all members pay a small sub and it has been agreed by the club that all funds will go towards a damn good party at Christmas.
 
Proxy club members pay no fees.
 
Meetings are setup occassionally throughout the year to enable the proxy members to meet up with full members - email notices are sent out in advance.
