The Prince of West End Avenue



Firstly sincere apologies for the lack of a post after the last meeting! No good excuse, I completely forgot! Really sorry to anyone who was trying to find out what, when and where.
Small group for Cold Comfort (perhaps because of the lack of that post!) but lots of fun recalling our favourite bits! A comedy classic.

Next read is 'The Prince of West End Avenue' by Alan Isler.
Other suggestions were:
Wild Swans by Jung Chang
The View from Castle Rock by Alice Munro
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

Just to be aware that we are meeting on a TUESDAY night next time - sorry to mess with the days but if anyone fancies a trip to the Science Museum Late on the Wednesday then you can do both! So Tuesday 29th May at 7.30pm at The King's Head, 100 Clapham Park Rd is the next meeting.

We are also still going with 'The Pickwick Papers' - it's not too late to start it!

People might or might not be aware that Maurice Sendak died last week. On a selfish quest I'd love the opportunity to discuss his work with others and if you haven't discovered his picture books yet then I can highly recommend their amazing content and illustrations! Well worth a 15min browse in the book shop or your local library! So if anyone wants to read one for the next group go for it! Some of his titles are:
Where the wild things are
In the night kitchen
Outside over there
Higglety Pigglety Pop
We are all in the dumps with Jack and Guy
Bumble-Ardy

Hope to see some of you there!
