Gwyneth Paltrow has set up a ‘Hollywood book club’ with members and friends including Madonna and the model Christy Turlington. The book club is a way where members can list their favourite books for a feature encouraging visitors to Gwyneth’s Goop.com. Paltrow’s website is a lifestyle website which is a fine way for a cheap pastime during the cold, winter months.

Gwyneth has specially made arrangements for her close friend and recently-divorced singer, Madonna. She said “Madonna Ciccone rules the world, is a loyal friend and a terrific mother”. Also featured in the reading list are Turlington and her best friend Abby Kane.

Paltrow always wanted to do something linked with Literature. She wrote: “I always like knowing the literary preferences of people. I think it gives a better understanding of their inner life.

She said about her friends : “These are the women who read voraciously and with passion. No TV for them before bed (I need a little something, even 10 minutes of ‘The X Factor’ or a forensic pathology documentary, just something, for Lord’s sake!).”

Paltrow has been a part of English Literature film adaptations in her career. Her favourites include Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky and The Sheltering Sky by Paul Bowles.

Paltrow wants to form a proper Hollywood book club in the future. Her prime motive is to cheer up MAdonna. Gwyneth explained: “The best way to escape is to curl up by the fire with an amazing novel.” Madonna who split from film director Guy last year is a keen reader, and Gwyneth lists her friend’s favourite book as ‘The Bad Girl’ by Mario Vargas.

Gwyneth Paltrow has been reportedly trying to make Madonna happy as ever. The former wants to bring back the smile in ‘Madge’s face.
