The next book club meeting will be on 21st June at 7.30pm st the old dairy.(corrected date inserted!) We are going to read two books this time: bonjour tristesse by francois sagan and another one I can't remember the name of ('Lullabies for little criminals' - inserted in an edit) I stupidly didn't bring a pen to write down - looks good though - jenny is going to post it andy please can you make this sticky? Ta!

    The other book we agreed is 'Lullabies for little criminals' by Heather O'Neill. This is a bit longer that Bonjour Tristesse (only just over 100 pages long) which is why we thought people could read both if they wanted to.

    I think we actually agreed to meet again on Mon 21st June (15th is a Tues). Can anyone who was there confirm this?

    By the way - did the sunshine put everyone off? There were 5 of us there and we had some very mixed opinions on 'One Day' - but this made for a really enjoyable discussion.

    Hi,
    A combination of jetlag (just back from holiday) and a very bad wisdom tooth (can barely talk!) stopped me from going - shame, I would have enjoyed a smaller group discussion!
    Not sure I'll get through 2 books for next time, have got such a pile I'm already dying to read. But will take a look and pick one.
    I really enjoyed One Day - was a great holiday read. Will put a few thoughts on the previous thread in case others want to add.

    How's everyone getting on? still up for the meeting on Monday? I re-read Bonjour Tristesse in about an hour, it's a very easy read. Halfway through Lullabies, it's a bit darker, hope I can finish it in time!

    Hi, I'm still on for tomorrow. Only just started Bonjour Tristesse so glad to hear it's a quick read! I read Lullabies first - looking forward to discussing it tomorrow.

    Should be OK - work permitting. I have read both, and very interested to discuss them.

    Hi
    Really sorry but I can't make it tonight. My partner is working away so I've got to look after the kids.
    I'll look forward to the next meeting.

    Have been a bit over-optimistic on the work front and won't be able to make it...very sorry. I've read the books and everything!

    Oh dear... only Charlotte and I turned up! :( I was really surprised as both books were really interesting this month I thought. even though there was just two of us, we talked for ages about each book, I think about an hour and a half or two hours, but it just flew by. Such a shame it was just the two of us. Really hope more of you can make it next time....
