With a solid turnout for the book club meet for The Five People You Meet In Heaven, and the meeting lasted just over an hour. Because the book itself was such a light read, the discussion was light enough.
We also chose a new selection, with an overwhelming majority: Harper Lee's classic, To Kill A Mockingbird. We'll be meeting on May 22nd to discuss the book.
A Facebook event will be created shortly, where interested participants can RSVP. This is an Islamabad/Pindi event.
The Lahore Book Club is meeting on May 8th, to discuss The White Tiger. You can RSVP to that event, here.

Book Clubs & Game Nights Galore...
Realizing this blog hasn't been updated for a while to reflect our jumping activity scene, here we are again.
Lahore has proven itself with a marvelous turnout to discuss In Other Rooms, Other Wonders and is well on the way to becoming a staple at the city's literary scene. Desi Writers Lounge has finally got a foot into that door.
Meanwhile, our Isloo book club and readings continue along with a reintroduction of our game nights. Details on that below. Please note: all our events will take place at The Niche Cafe, formerly The Paper Microphone, above Bukhari Furriers, Main School Road, F-6 Super Market.
Book Club: On Sunday, April 18 @ 5 PM sharp, we meet to discuss Mitch Albom's The Five People You Meet In Heaven. The book is easily available at Saeed Book Bank and all other bookstores in the twin cities. For those of you interested in online purchases, you can find the book at Liberty Books. You can RSVP to the event here
Game Nights Word games galore as Game Nights kick right into gear on Saturday, March 24 at 6 PM at The Niche Cafe (details above). Pick your poison from Boggle, Balderdash, Taboo, Scrabble and Pictionary as you play to win a cash pot at the end of the night. Winner takes all. There are no second places, and no, everybody's not a winner! :) Consider it healthy competition for old fashioned gamers. The entry fee is Rs 200 with 50% going to the cash pot, and 50% as a cover for the event.
Readings will restart in the beginning of May. No dates yet, but as always, you can present your material at readings@desiwriterslounge.net.
That's it for now.
