Not sure what to choose for our next book group. Would obviously like to pick something I shall enjoy myself! I tend to prefer stuff set second half of twentieth century or later and am not generally keen on "fantasy" type books. Am currently really enjoying "Frankie and Stankie" by Barbara Trapido. Other books that I have really enjoyed were "Notes on a Scandal", "The Help" and "We need to talk about Kevin". So trying to analyse from those what kind of books I like, I suppose I would say books with a dry sense of humour and characters who are not cliches and which have something to say about the wider society in which they are set. All suggestions welcome!
