English Book Club
Hi Expats
 
I am a late entrant in the expat club, so I am not sure if there is an active Book Club already, but if there isn't one already I offer to create an English Book Club, where we can meet to discuss a book we have read or want to read.
 
There is a pretty good collection of books in København's Bibliotek so getting a book shouldn't be that difficult..
 
Cheers
Santoshi

Hi Santoshi, Nice to see your initiative. I was interested in starting a book club in the company where I work. But with more work the plan has sort of worn out. I would be pleased to be part of this club and involved in discussions on books etc. Thanks, Rajesh.

Herve Leger skirts North Americans are some of the least healthy people on Earth. Despite advanced medical care and one of the highest standards of living in the world, one in three Americans will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime and 50% of US children are overweight.

WASHINGTON – Christian Louboutin shoes Rep. Kendrick Meek cinched Florida's Senate Democratic nomination by defeating political upstart Jeff Greene on Tuesday, and veteran politician Bill McCollum battled novice Rick Scott in the state's GOP gubernatorial contest as voters weighed the merits of establishment candidates vs. wealthy outsiders. Elsewhere, Sens.

Nominating contests in five states — Vermont also was voting, Christian Louboutin wedges and Oklahoma held GOP runoffs — highlighted dominant themes of this unpredictable election year, including anti-establishment anger and tea party challenges from the right. As the first Christian Louboutin boots polls of the night closed, Meek toppled Greene, a big-spending real estate tycoon whose links to boxer Mike Tyson and former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss drew headlines, in the Democratic Senate nomination fight. The four-term congressman will compete against Republican Marco Rubio, who easily secured the GOP nod, and Gov. Charlie Crist,Christian Louboutin sandals a former Republican who is running as an independent, in November. "Floridians sent a clear message — they want a real Democrat representing them in the U.S. Senate," Meek said. "The naysayers said we couldn't beat a billionaire, and tonight with your help, we proved them wrong." Poking at both Crist and Rubio without naming them, he added: "Floridians want leaders who will fight for them all the time, not just when it helps their own political career or advances an extreme philosophy."

Dear Santoshi,
 
I know it's a long time ago, but did you manage to set up the book club?
 
I work for The Copenhagen Post, and we would be interested in running a feature of a book club in the expat community. If your book club is running, maybe that could be a possibility?
 
Thanks and best regards,
 
Victoria

“She’s definitely putting a toe in the water, and that’s great for Fox,” said the aide. Jim Dyke, a veteran GOP strategist who isn’t affiliated with any 2012 candidate, predicted that the issue would gain steam after the midterms, when the so-called invisible primary begins in earnest. “As it becomes clear somebody is looking at running, Fox gets into a bit of a box because doesn’t it become an in-kind contribution if they’re being paid?” Dyke asked. The notion of a politician taking a paycheck from a news organization before mounting a presidential bid isn’t totally new. Pat Buchanan hosted CNN’s “Crossfire” in the 1990s in between GOP primary campaigns and certainly used the national platform to his advantage in the years before Fox News achieved its current status. Buchanan, in an interview, said the rule should be: “As soon as you come close to declaring or declare, you’re gone.” In the 1996 campaign, the populist Republican made his final appearance as a “Crossfire” host in February 1995 and then announced his candidacy the next month. But Buchanan, now a paid MSNBC contributor, said, “We’re in a dramatically different era now.” Christian Louboutin Christian Louboutin Roger Ailes, Fox News chairman and CEO and Buchanan’s old colleague from the 1968 Richard Nixon campaign, now has every incentive to keep Palin exclusive to the network for as long as he can, said Buchanan.
