Next meeting: The Hundred-Year-Old Man...(9th October)

Sorry for the hiatus in postings to the blog. At some point, can attempt to do some backfill if anyone's interested in what has been read in the intervening months!

Anyway, next meeting we will be talking about The Hundred-Year-Old Man who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson. On a Thursday...sorry, Wednesday fans - we will return to normal next time.
 
From 7 pm; 9th October, at Craft Beer Co, 128 Clapham Manor Street SW4 6ED

We had a tie for the next book for first time in ages with The Hundred...pipping The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoevsky to the post in a second round of voting. As exciting as the Scottish referendum..

Other books suggested were:
Beyond Black by Hilary Mantel
Hullabalo in the Guava Orchard by Kiran Desai

Last meeting we talked about The Bunker Diary. Not sure we agreed on questions including whether it's too bleak for a YA book, if there's hope in it (as the author claims), how much it's about religion...but maybe that's the point of discussing something!
