The Crow Road

A large group for us this week and lots of different thoughts about 'if nobody speaks'. General consensus: some lovely ideas, lovely prose although not loved by all (!) but some clunky story lines.

Next choice - an outright winner of the vote this week - is 'The Crow Road' by Ian Banks.

We had a great list to choose from though including:Dominion by CJ Sansom
Black Dogs by Ian McEwan
The Unconsoled by Kazuo Ishiguro
What is the what by Dave Eggers
The Princess Bride by William Goldman
The Trial by Franz Kafka
There but for the by Ali Smith

Not quite warm enough to sit outside last night but ALMOST! We will stick with the King's Head, 100 Clpahma Park Rd for next meeting but maybe think of another venue with more outside space after that. 

 

Next meeting is in FOUR weeks, on the 22 May, so plenty of time to read Crow Road!  Meet at 7.30pm for an 8pm start...

Enjoy the sun (please stay!) in the mean time...
