Re-edit: Next book group! Thursday 1st March: Annie Proulx! Dickens! Books!
  • sophie

    sorry my last post wasn't very proactive. i'm happy to come along and just meet and chat about books in general. the annie proulx, talking about dickens, even if other people have read it and i haven't, other books we've read recently, i don't mind. i think i would need a lot more notice for a dickens, not because they're long but because i find it verrry slowww.

    maybe it's best to choose one at the meeting. i'll have a proper look at the number of pages in each one. he also wrote a lot of short stories, maybe that would be more manageable...

    i'll come on the 1st of march anyway, even with no book at all!

  • Charlo

    Thanks for changing the heading again Sophie! Look forward to seeing everyone on 1st March and talking about Brokeback Mountain etc.

  • Jenny


    Look forward to seeing everyone on 1st March for Annie Proulx chat and Dickens choice debate.  It's all getting very complicated!

  • Angelab

    What time are we meeting on Thursday?

  • Donna

    Am going to try to make it! Baby permitting....

    Are you guys aware there is a really well publicised music quiz in the dairy from 7pm on the 1st?

  • sophie

    thanks for letting us know donna, it's obviously not well publicised enough!
    shall we meet in the stapleton instead, at 7.30? i could call the dairy to book a table in 'our room', but if they've pushed people into there because of the quiz then it might still be noisy.

  • Angelab

    Yes stapleton is fine with me and tine is good too.

  • Charlo

    Hoping to make it tomorrow, and the Stapleton at 7.30 sounds good, but it depends how tired I'm feeling - I'm still living in west London and getting very close to the baby's due date so trying not to get too exhausted travelling about! Hope to come though as I've been looking forward to catching up with you all.

  • Jenny

    I will be there. Charlo - I hope you are feeling ok.

  • Charlo

    Thanks Jenny - I'm fine but just getting very tired in the evenings now! I'm afraid I won't make this meeting but hope to see you all next time depending on when the baby arrives etc. Have a good time tonight!



  • sophie

    i'll definitely be there at 7.30, see you all then.

    good luck with everything charlo (including moving back to SG), looking forward to seeing you soon!

  • Donna

    Will try to make it - depends on how my little one is doing. If I can't stay I will at least try to drop by if I can.

  • Charlo

    Thanks Sophie! Glad the meeting was good and hoping to make the next one - I'd better get started on the book now while I've still got some spare time!
