Lots of mixed opinion about Elmore Leonard and his crime writing, some liked some didn't. All were agreed though that Owen Wilson would make the worst Jack Ryan ever.Next book is The Rehersal by Eleanor Catton. Good timing as her second novel is shortlisted for the Booker. Other suggestions were:
The Spy who came in from the cold by John Le Carre
The Leopard by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa
Northern Lights by Philip Pullman
The Trial by Franz Kafka
Yellow Birds by Kevin Powers
We are back at the Kings Head, 100 Clapham Park Rd for our next meeting on 2 October - far better for winter evenings and impassioned discussions! Hope you see you there....
