A comic Ian McEwan?


A great meeting yesterday with a lengthy discussion about 'The Grapes..' despite the varying number of pages that people managed to read! Certainly some passionate feelings elicited and happily no one got too depressed, phew.

Outright winner for the next read is 'Solar' by Ian McEwan. Apparently a 'comic' plot line from him so it will be interesting to see what everyone thinks. Expect some strong opinions if the mini discussion was anything to go by!

Other suggestions were:

Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates
1984 by George Orwell
The Greatest Trade Ever by Gregory Zuckerman
The Bookseller of Kabul by Åsne Seierstad
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë

The Royal Oak was still a good choice with the cool evening, so unless the weather takes an amazing turn and we are all perspiring on the day of the next meeting then we'll stick with that venue until the proper summer months. Again, I'll try to post something on the day the let everyone know.

Til then.....
