This is a short video describing Dine to Read.
Thanks to all those who mentioned Dine to Read as part of the Tuesday Push, a great idea set up by Damien Mulley where the Irish Tech community get behind a new company and give them a helping hand to generate interest on a Tuesday.
Pushers included:
Ken McGuire (a lovely write up, thanks Ken!)
Thanks so much!
Got a minute to spare?
We were delighted to see Dine to Read featured in the Sunday Tribune magazine yesterday (Sunday 15th March.)
Thanks from everyone here at Dine to Read!
Dine to Read has officially been launched for a week now and already we’ve attracted some attention for being Ireland’s first online book club.
Last week I got a call from Galway’s newest radio station i 102-104fm who interviewed me about Dine to Read for a programme that will air this Thursday. Then this morning I spoke with a presenter from Dublin’s Spin Fm who had interesting views on Dine to Read and its place in bringing Irish society together in what can be isolating times.
Feels great to be surfing the airwaves with our bookclub!
Today is officially World Book Day 2009. What better way to kick off Dine to Read. We’ve chosen our first book of the month which is ‘The White Tiger’ by Aravind Adiga, a book I’m just starting to get into and trust me, it’s a great read so far!
Our first Dine to Read book club event will take place in Galway on Tuesday 31st March in Vina Mara Restaurant. For details check out our events page and sign up fast as it is very nearly full up.
We’re delighted with the response to Dine to Read so far, so please keep babbling about books and enjoy the site!
Welcome to Dine to Read – a brand new book club with a difference!
We’ll be organising regular events across Ireland which will be a great way to meet new people and discuss books over a delicious restaurant meal. We’re building up an online community where you’ll be able to discuss books and more in our forums.

We hope you’ll enjoy chatting to the other Dine to Read members on our forums, and we hope that you’ll also attend our events where you can meet other like-minded people in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
Stay tuned for lots more news.
