How refreshing to be forced to read some poetry! (Something you always intend but somehow never get around to.) Our Christmas meeting featuring a wonderful mix of poems, old and new, was both fun and thought provoking. The first book of 2008 - 'Saturday' by Ian McEwan - was enjoyed by all. The skill in describing thoughts and deeds encompassing less than 24 hours, set against a back drop of events we could all remember was fully appreciated and led to meaty discussion. Later in the year we shall be able to compare the same genre when we tackle Virginia Woolf's 'Mrs Dalloway'.

Forthcoming books are:-

'The Meaning of Night’, Michael Cox
Tues 26 February

'The Whaleboat House', Mark Wills
Tues 8 April

‘Mrs Dalloway’, Virginia Woolf
Weds 14 May
