Hungover at the King's Head?!

Great discussion about Jessica Mitford and the other members of the family! All agreed that Hons and Rebels was an excellent read, if a little impersonal at times. 


The next read is 'Hangover Square' by Patrick Hamilton but it was a close vote between the many excellent suggestions!

Slumdog Millionaire by Vikas Swarup
The Virgin Suicides by Jeffery Eugenides
The Fall by Simon Mawer
Labyrinth by Kate Mosse
The Family Arsenal by Paul Theroux
Burmese Days by George Orwell
Looking for Alaska by John Green
Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

To mark the 70th Anniversary of the Famous Five we're ALSO reading 'Five go to Smugglers Top' by Enid Blyton so get those boiled eggs and corned beef sandwiches on the go!


Meeting on 11th July at 7.30pm in the King's Head, 100 Clapham Park Rd as usual.

Hons and Rebels

Apologies for the delayed post...
A good group last week, mostly unanimous enjoyment of 'The Prince of West End Avenue'. 
The next read is 'Hons and Rebels' by Jessica Mitford - should be a great discussion after this one. I can highly recommend 'The Mitford Girls' by Mary S.Lovell if this wets your appetite for more information about this extraordinary family.

Other great choices were:
Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy
Tender is the Night by F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Stranger's Child by Alan Hollinghurst
The Corrections by Jonathan Franzen

Next meeting is 20th June from 7.30pm, still at the King's Head - with new improved toilets!
