Christmas meeting

Hi bookclubbers, We have a booking at The Rustic Olive (Feast Street) on December 10th for 6.30pm. This will be our Christmas break-up, please let me know if you will be attending by Monday the 7th December so I can confirm numbers with Craig at the restaurant.
For our last read of the year we are reading a selection from the 50 BOOKS YOU CANT PUT DOWN 2009 list http://www.booksalive.com.au/pdf/Guide_2009_lr.pdf
We will be discussing the good bad & ugly of these books at the meeting.
If you haven't already done so, please let me know what book you would like to read, and I will procure it for you.
I have had several enquiries recently from prospective new members, so 2010 looks to be a good year for bookclub.

Cheers for now,
Deidre

Both groups meeting on the 22nd October

Both groups will be meeting next on the 22nd October at 6pm. We will be discussing 'The Memory Room (for those who read it) and 'The Chrysalids'.
We will also be discussing reuniting the groups and possibly changing to another meeting day if it suits us better.
If you can't make it to the meeting, I would really like your input on the books, the possibility of reunion and what day suits you best for meetings, so please comment here or send me an email. Cheers
Deidre

Merging the groups together again?

Hi bookclubbers, as we have had dwindling numbers at meetings recently I am considering merging the two groups back together again. Please let me know your thoughts on this.

The Chrysalids

Well, B1 have decided to move outside their comfort zone and read a new genre. They have chosen a classic Ski Fi read in John Wyndham's The Chrysalids. This is only a short novel, approximately 2oo pages long, but still manages to possess the renowned 'readability' of Wyndam. I hope you all enjoy the read.

People of the book

Has anyone finished yet? Post your comments below if you have.

Geography

B2 are currently reading Sophie Cunningham's 'Geography'. Preliminary comments are positive, especially by those who have experienced a similar kind of toxic relationship either personally or through friends. I'll be interested to know what the group as a whole think of this book. See you all on the 9th.
Deidre.

The boy in the striped pyjamas

B1 unanimously enjoyed this book. A short but intense read, we'll be looking out for future works by this author.
