In September the PAWI Book Club launched its third season discussing Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen. Thirty-four members strong, the book club meets monthly in Taksim.
This year's selections feature a wide variety of topics such as life in the traveling circus, the curious "lives" of cadavers, a five-year old boy who knows nothing of the world but a single room, and a troubled marriage set against the lush and political landscape of Trinidad.
At each book club meeting, we also host a monthly book exchange. If you are interested in joining the book club or would like to view the 2010-2011 PAWI Book Club Reading Selection and Schedule, please email PAWI's book club coordinators Felicia Grammas or Madeleine Pelletier at pawistanbul@hotmail.com
