L.A.'s original alternative book club.
Nobody Reads In L.A. was designed to be the "Book Club for the Nightclub set"
Our Mission, to put books in to hands accustomed to holding cocktails....
This Fall we relaunch the club with a modern vibe to appeal to the urban reader and we expand our reach to West Hollywood as Book Soup joins the fray.
Our focus will be on novels that spawned iconic films.
(Many of which you may not have known were books in the first place!)
Our Fall opener has us cracking the spine of the modern fairy tale
"Wild At Heart" by Barry Gifford.
This high octane true love story surrounds the romance between
modern literature's "Southern Gothic Romeo & Juliet"
Sailor Ripley and Lula Pace Fortune.
Made in to a remarkable cinema by David Lynch in
1990 who called it "a really modern romance in a violent world – a picture about finding love in hell.".
"Wild At Heart" had the world listening to Chris Isaak for the first time
and had everyone sayin'
"You got me hotter than Georgia asphalt."
As with most movies though...you only got half of the story.
Join us as we follow our star crossed lovers
on an adventure filled with my favorite M's
Murder,Mayhem and Make-out
A LOT OF MAKE OUT...
Our first meeting of the reconvened club will be
Wed. October 17th from 7-9
at Casey's 613 S. Grand Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90017 213.629.2353
This classic Irish pub- (that will be the site of the 2008 "Blooms Day")
has big tables and a great bar.
we will also be hosting a meeting in
West Hollywood on
thurs. October 25th from 7-9
At Red Rock 8782 Sunset Blvd West Hollywood, CA 90069
We will now offer meetings on the east and west for every book
and we are working on
offering a screening and author events to accompany the titles.

November:
"Rule #1.) You Don't Talk About Book Club
FIGHT CLUB by Chuck Palahniuk
For emasculated,conflicted men reclaiming their identity
and the bi-polar,suicidal,kleptomaniac women with really hot eyeliner that love them.
December:
(This month is always crazy with no time but I offer you a little jewel of a novella )
Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote.
Holly was very different than the girl we came to know Via Miss Hepburn...
For lonely girls in the big city who always lose their keys
and the gay neighbors who observe and take care of them.
Hope To See You There-
Sex Libris,
Nico Bella

I would love to come for the FIGHT CLUB meeting, as it's past due for me to read that novel again. Is it likely that group meeting also will be on a Wednesday night?
wendsdays or thursdays
depending on what
is best for our locations
where we hold the events.
nb
I'm so excited about this book club for many reasons. To name a few:
1. The book clubs I've belonged to in the past have all dwindled, so I've been missing that activity!
2. I've read every Chuck Palahniuk book EXCEPT Fight Club, so I'll have another new book to read.
3. I travel a LOT so having 2 meetings gives me a better chance to be in town for a meeting.
