Books from here till Christmas

Good meeting last night, dare I suggest folk seem to enjoy coming. Good to see membership staying strong, we are without doubt the nation's premium book group. Can't see why we didn't win the Book Group of the Year prize, they'd better give it to us next year or else.

Interesting reads for next month - Venus as a Boy promises an alternative view of Orkney and The Stornoway Way the same for the Western Isles, should be an interesting compare and contrast exercise. Since we wanted to read everything suggested last night we've now got our next three month's reads sorted as well:
  • October it's The Red Tent by Ann Diamant
  • November The Reader by Bernard Schlink
  • December Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie.
Though it could still change if we get overtaken by an urgent and all-consuming need to read something else...

Hey, I don't remember any vote on the books to read after September. Did you wait until I was out of the room?

I think you were there! We said that since we liked the other suggestions too we should just keep them on the list, and Midnight's Children we'd always meant to read in the long winter nights. However, deviation and argument is always most welcome, we may change our minds at any time...
