That was certainly a fun evening at Jane's. Stoner inspired some great conversation. Also we were pretty clearly enlivened by the wine and nibbles, and happy to be catching up with each other. An enthusiastic thank you to Jane!
We have dates decided for the next four months. On January 8th, 2015 we'll be at Jan's to talk about the winner of the Man Booker prize, The Narrow Road to the Deep North by Richard Flanagan. On February 5th the book will be winner of the Giller prize, Us Conductors by Sean Michaels. We'll be meeting at Sue's.
March 12th will be at Jo's and April 16th will be at Lynda's. I believe we decided to wait before choosing books for these dates.
We noted the passing of P.D. James who is seen below talking about her last novel, Death Comes to Pemberley.
A few movie recommendations:
