A visit to the Circus....


Sorry for the delay in setting up this event....apologies. A great group last week, our reminiscing meant that we almost forgot to discuss the books but we got there in the end! Enjoyed the Kings Head (100 Clapham Park Rd), cheap beer and plenty of room. We're going to give it another go next time but other suggestions welcome.

As usual a great collection of suggestions but the winner (after several entries!) was Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy by John Le Carre. For the first time ever I think I'm being dragged to see the film before I've read the book (367 pages in an evening is pushing it a little too far!). We meet again on the 5th October.

The other suggestions were:
Captain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis de Bernieres
A dry white season by Andre Brisk
A disturbed girl's guide to curing boredom by James Howell
Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami

After not much deliberation (!) we postponed Cloud Atlas until the 19th October. Sorry to all those who have been diligently reading it but unfortunately the rest need a bit more catch up time.

Hope to see you all on the 5th, take care until then.
