These days there's a sort of Son of Book Club, meeting Fridays, 6.30 pm, at the Slice of Heaven Pizza Parlor, #166 Hong Shan Dong Lu. Mostly we chat, drink beer, eat half-price pizza. But sometimes we talk about books too. This week, some of us will read "The Call of Cthulhu" by H. P. Lovecraft.
The KM English Book Club We Chat group still exist. You can find a .txt format copy of "The Call of Cthulhu" there, readable in many smartphone readers. I suppose you can can download it and print it out if you like!
now. Our old meeting place has gone out of business. Members have been busy with other things since the last holiday. We are certainly open to suggestions, though.
The Book Club is still in business, although we haven't had our first meeting of the new semester yet. If you're interested, we do have a WeChat group, Kunming English Book Club, which you can join. Most of our discussions take place there.
Ok, the book club will next meet 8 August, 1830,at THE PARK. We will talk about Plato's Phaedo, all about life after death. Phaedo can be found at Project Gutenberg.
If people are grumpy about the "civilized KM" campaign, it is probably because said campaign made everyday life far, far, less convenient. Eg, fences at the subway stops making it nearly impossible to hail a taxi, or the near impossibilty of buying an er kuai.
Does The Guardian give references to professional journals? The popular press is notoriously unreliable when it comes to anything scientific or scholarly.
