Thank you to Wanda for hosting in November. We had an excellent evening talking about 419 when we weren't caught up in the endless controversy surrounding city hall scandals. Sheesh!
Next month we'll meet on a Wednesday, December 4th at Lynda's house. The book will be Big Breasts and Wide Hips.
In the new year, our first get-together will be at Jane's house on Tuesday, January 7th. We considered reading the recent Giller prize winner, Hellgoing by Lynn Coady, but in the end we decided to go with another book of short fiction: Dear Life by Alice Munro, winner of the Nobel prize for literature!
Other books mentioned:
In the past few days the world has been horrified to witness how typhoon Haiyan has devastated the Philippines, causing unimaginable misery. The Canadian government has stepped forward with aid, and has promised to match any donations toward relief. The Red Cross, Unicef Canada and the Humanitarian Coalition are among the options that you might consider.
