The Newcastle Dirty Book Club is NOT for those who want edification through the pages of Booker Prize winning novels about middle aged men suffering meltdown, or crinoline clad Victorian heroines suffering marriage to brutal landowners.
It’s for ne’er-do-wells, larrikins, wastrels and gobby harridans who like the Ramones and want to read about sex, true crime, anarchists, drugs, rock n roll and sheer stupidity.
We will meet in caffs and dissolute public houses on housing estates, and will get drunk and argue, while swapping stories, critiques and rumours.
In the lead up to meeting, we’ll be reading Pamela des Barres I’M WITH THE BAND, a “terrific mix of hippie revolution and teenage lust”.
Available from Amazon and Abebooks for less than a fiver, so you’ve no excuse NOT to read it.
At the meeting we’ll chat about the book, read the dirty bits out loud, and one book club member will get to choose the next book and venue.
