Victoria Beckham is to start her own Hollywood book club, with Katie Holmes and Jennifer Lopez set to join.

The former Spice Girl - who moves to Los Angeles in the summer with husband David and their three sons - is keen to teach her American pals about classic English literature and sees the club as a perfect way to do it.

The 32-year-old star plans for members of the exclusive book club to meet once a month at each other's houses, where they will discuss the book they've been reading.

A source told Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "When Victoria told Katie about a book club, Katie thought it was a great idea, especially as she would love to learn more about British classics.

"Victoria has asked five of her friends, including Jennifer Lopez and Katie, to become members."

Books that Victoria wants to talk about, include Jane Austen's 'Pride and Prejudice', 'Emma' and 'Sense and Sensibility', as well as tomes by literary giants Charles Dickens and Thomas Hardy.

Katie - who has become close pals with Victoria - told Victoria the club would be a great way of making friends while David plays for new soccer team Los Angeles Galaxy.
