A blast from the past!

Despite the positivity of several members 'The Night Circus' did not
fare well in our discussion. In fact that's a complete understatement -
we totally slated it! Nice idea but terrible execution was the general consensus!

Following a close vote the next book chosen is a blast from the past for many: 'Tales of the City' by Armistead Maupin.  Meeting date is Wednesday 20th February.

Other great suggestions were:
The Marriage Plot by Jeffery Eugenides
Death Comes to Pemberley by PD James
Persuasion by Jane Austen
There but for the by Ali Smith
 
Hope to see you at the Kings Head, 100 Clapham Park Rd, 7.30/8.00pm.
 

Don't forget the Dickens date on Sunday 17th Feb - plan still to be formulated but the date is set!

The circus at night

Sorry for this very delayed post - sincere apologies! Great first meeting of the New Year - back to the King's Head which was fun as usual and a great discussion about Ivan Denisovich. Decided that we really had nothing to complain about!
Next book choice is 'The Night Circus' by Erin Morgenstern.

Other suggestions were:
'Station X' by Michael T Smith
'Lucky Jim' by Kingsley Amis
'Thursbitch' by Alan Ggrner
'The Crossing' by Cormac McCarthy
'The Hundred Year Old Man who climbed out of the window' and disappeared by Jonas Jonasson

Meeting at the King's Head and back to a Wednesday after all those Tuesday meetings so hope you can make it -enjoy January until then!
