Yes definitely. I didn't sell it too well in the intro. These are fairy tales for ADULTS. Really enjoying re-reading it - about 15 years since I last did! Is it too late to make this post STICKY - or whatever the new equivalent is? Thanks.

Hi Guys I am definitely coming and bringing a friend (Alison) who is staying with me. She has even read nearly half the book even though I only told her about it on Sunday! We'll do our best to be there at 7 but may be more like 7.15. Sophie - …

That's great, I can do 19th and will bring a friend along who will be staying with me then.
-
Really enjoying the Pickwick Papers but have realised I won't be able to make the 12th April. Arrrghhhh. Don't want to start a complicated chain of re-scheduling the date so I will just bow out on this occasion and possibly post my thoughts on her…

I will be there. Charlo - I hope you are feeling ok.
-
Look forward to seeing everyone on 1st March for Annie Proulx chat and Dickens choice debate. It's all getting very complicated!
-
While I certainly don't hate Hard Times it is rather an atypical Dickens novel and certainly not the best place to start if you haven't read him before. I'm happy to go with the Old Curiosity Shop as I haven't read that one (despite my apparent rep…
-
OK. Anyone got a suggestion on dates? Any weekday expect Weds is good for me and Thursdays aren't good for Charlo for a few weeks. Mon or Tues?
-
The coffee is definitely the best in the area. I generally can't start the day withour a coffee and have been here quite a few times as I really rate the quality and the service. My only suggestion would be a better choice of soft drinks for the yo…

I vote moving on to the next book, although would be happy to recovene for a quick chat on Brokeback. I've listed below some of the 'less long' Dickens novels (minus 400 pages counts as a shorter Dickens novel): Oliver Twist - approx 374 pages A C…

Will be coming but will be a bit late - about 8ish. Happy New Year to all and look forward to seeing you.

The new grocer is brilliant. It combines an attractive space and good selection worthy of a posh greengrocer in Crouch End or somewhere with prices virtually as low as Green Lanes. The produce was much riper and tastier than insipid supermarket stuf…

Will try my best to come. Had an operation on my leg today so hobbling a bit but don't see why I can't stagger down! Have read about 65% of the book!
-
I'll be going. I'm halfway through too - and you never know, I may have finished it by Thursday!
-
OK - so I've logged in as myself now! I'll be happy to pass on a few things to you.
-
Looking forward to it. I spoke to a few people at the Season pop-up who expressed an interest in coming - so I say "come along"!
-
Hi Last book club was good. Sophie and I were there along with Doug and krappyrubsnif. We discussed reading an Italian crime thriller next time. Krappy - could you remind us of the author and title? Thanks
-
Sorry for not making it last time- glad of the re-schedule. Look forward to Sun - I am 3/4 of way through book amd will aim to finish it!
-
See you all later!
-
Hi. I'm coming. See you all soon.
-
Hello All Sorry for my general quietness and not turning up at last book-club. I have been super busy. I read Norwegian Wood quite a few years ago and really enjoyed it so I'm looking forward to reading it again and catching up with you all in a …

Hi All A few months ago I registered with 'World Book Night' to be a World Book Night Giver and I've been chosen. This means that I will soon have 48 copies of 'Selected Poems' by Seamus Heaney to give away. I should be able to collect these late…

Have read quite a few Margaret Atwood books but not Oryx and Crake so happy to give that one a try. Look forward to seeing you all next week.
-
I think I can do the 24th so that is OK with me - but I seem to recall on the evening when there were just 4 of us there was a reason why we didn't go for the Thursday. I can't remember what though - so that's pretty useless of me!
-
Thanks for the tip! Had a really nice time at our Christmas do - but ashamed that 2 glasses of wine seemed to go to my head. I really can't take my drink anymore!
-
Sounds interseting. I'm usually quite sceptical about this stuff too but about to go back to work full-time after my 2nd baby I'm seriously wondering if I'm doing the right thing. Could actually be useful to talk it through with someone who can he…
-
HI I should be there about 7.15. Don't wait for me to order if they're in a rush! see you all later.
-
Hi Sorry for being so quiet since last meeting. I'm really looking forward to the meal on Thursday and seeing everyone there. I have some serious reading to do - I had a copy of the book and left it in Stoke at the weekend while visiting my paren…

Had lunch here today with my friend and our kids. It really exceeded my expectations. The venue was spacious and comfortable and most importantly of all the food was delicious - a very high standard of catering and incredibly cheap. We were made …

All changed. Look forward to seeing everyone.
