Will this be a grape book or will it incur our wrath.....?

Great meeting on Wednesday - Jean Brodie inspired a good discussion. Was it all in her master plan we wonder? Welcome to the new members, hope to see you again.

Apologies for the terrible title of the next meeting, I couldn't resist. So you might have guessed that we are next reading The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck - finally it was an outright winner!

Lots of other good suggestions including:

Tender is the Night - F Scott Fitzgerald
Shooting the Elephant - George Orwell
Nineteen Eighty Four - George Orwell
Suspicions of Mr Whicher - Kate Summerscale
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society - Mary Ann Shaffer Stevie Davies
Room - Emma Donoghue

We're meeting in 4 weeks, instead of 3 which brings us to 4th May. Provisionally we'll meet in the Royal Oak BUT if the weather is as lovely as it has been this week and it's warm enough to sit outside then we'll be outside at the Bread and Roses.

I'll try to post the venue up on the day but if you arrive at one pub and find nobody then head to the other one!! Clear as mud?!
