This is the new home of this thread which has now died as none of the active particpants want to operate behind the new local barrier.

For any newbies - we are meeting usually on the last monday of each month (plus or minus a week depending on other things going on). The dates of our next 2 meetings were fixed last time we met but I am not 100% sure of them, hopefully one of the others will be along in a moment to confirm them. Venues are variable and we take it in turns whether they are north or south of the river so everyone has occasions when the meeting is nearer to them.

We are deciding the books 2 months in advance to give ourselves plenty of time to find a copy and read it. We decide which book to schedule by concensus at the end of each meeting - anyone can suggest one.

Our next meeting will be at the end of November and we are reading "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" by Philip K Dick

The next meeting (which will be in mid January) will be looking at "The Magicians" by Lev Grossman.

Thank-you, fangirl, for setting this up. I too am not that enamoured by the new local. I can't get past the needing a new nn - it took me long enough to come up with the one I have!!

I may think of one eventually, but, if it takes me as long as it did before, the book group will have grown up and gone away to university by then...

Brill, that new local site is appalling, I can't be bothered to try and work it out. Hope to see you all in January.
