Adding this far too late as I forgot to copy it across from Facebook. Oops... Thanks to Eleanor for taking notes on the night:
General consensus that we enjoyed 'Gilead', which I was obviously pleased about! Good discussion on the various themes, actually I think we did mostly talk about the book!
Next we are reading 'A Severed Head' by Iris Murdoch. Don't be put off by the title, I'm pretty sure there's no blood and guts in it, just a lot of sex and relationship confusion I think! Actually it was a pretty close call with 'The Slap' by Christos Tsiol...kas, we had some subtle changes of allegiance and almost went to a third round! So if anyone fancies suggesting it another time please do.
Other suggestions were:
Kalooki Nights by Havard Jacobson
The Help by Kathryn Stockett
THe Owl Service by Alan Garner
Mother's Milk by Edmund St Aubyn
Meeting will be on Wed 10th November at the Bread and Roses on Clapham Manor Road.
Just to let everyone know that they are now holding a quiz on a Wednesday evening in the pub so we will meet in the back part of the pub (just walk straight through). It's not too noisy but might get a little chilly in the winter so bring a jumper! I suppose if a book is terrible and we can't bring ourselves to talk about it we could always do the quiz instead!
