The Madras Book Club has been meeting for the longest time. As a book club their main activity is holding talks and readings by visiting authors, and sponsoring talks on the occasion of book releases, and so on. About 200 or so attend their meetings on average, which are held at the Connemara Hotel, Anna Salai (Mount Road), the Binny Room. Attendance at the Madras Book Club events is open to Kochi Reading Group members on a reciprocal basis. Our events will be circulated to their members also.
