New Real Science Genre created

At Our Book Club, we have created a new genre for science books - don't worry it isn't too nerdy or scary.  The genre aims at focusing on books that explain in laymans terms of course, some of the questions that we puzzle over i.e. why does E=MC2?

Check out our Real Science page.

Book to Screen

Natalie has been busy creating a new section that lets you know what books have been adapted to the big and small screens.  So if you are too lazy to read the book (and yes there are some people out there), here is your chance to catch up with the screen adaptations.  Check out http://www.ourbookclub.net.au/pagetoscreen.php

If you know of any books that have been adapted, let us know at http://www.ourbookclub.net.au/contact.php
