Right, sorted

It was July that I started talking about this. Wow. Oh well, think it is time to make some decisions, so here goes, a book group for the new year. I propose we meet at Port St, I was thinking a week night, but that might get tricky, how about a Sunday afternoon? Well not a great start on the decisions, but discuss what you think is best. Either way, we have Christmas reading time so I reckon the first gathering should be about the second week of January. But what are we reading I hear you say. Ta da! 

January: The White Woman on the Green Bicycle, Monique Roffey

March: Submarine, Joe Dunthorne

May: Mr Pip, Lloyd Jones

July: The Unbearable Lightness of Being, Milan Kundera

I have a couple of spare copies of that first book so will circulate them around.  (Thanks for your patience.)

The beginning of something great?

Not sure who I mentioned this to, but I fancy starting up a reading group.  Idea being to pick some books, get together every couple of months and discuss the book of the moment.  Interested?

In the spirit of being a bit more inclusive (and very old school at the same time), I thought we might try a group blogging exercise.  Long, random, rambles welcome.  I have tried to set it up so that you have access to author posts (you know who you are).

Anyway books.  I think we're looking for good, honest, novels.  Don't know anything about it, but this one was on the Orange list last year and has a good name:

The White Woman on the Green Bicycle, Monique Roffey

or something classic?

The Catcher in the Rye, JD Salinger

I don't know, over to you...
