Autumnal books?

5 replies

I'm in a book club, and the organiser has decided that for the next book, everyone is to suggest a book with a "strong Autumnal flavour", and the most popular suggestion is our next chosen book.

I have absolutely no idea what a "strong Autumnal flavour" might mean, and I don't want to look completely thick by asking if I can help it. Does anyone have any clue about what this means?

No idea Grin but bumping for you in case anyone else does.

I'd suggest just picking a book you'd like to read and cross your fingers no-one asks about the autumn connection...!

IMO 'autumn' could be stretched to cover the general themes of endings and changes, which almost all books are about in some way

Here's one with Autumn in the title at least :o

Or how about one from Richard and Judy's Autumn Book Club selection?

How about The Autumn of the Patriarch by Gabriel Garcia Marquez? It's a symbolic autumn rather than mists and mellow fruitfulness but a great author.

Thanks for suggestions Smile

I'll have a look at those book titles. BoulevardOfBrokenSleep, your suggested definition of an autumnal theme sounds helpful, it should give me a good excuse to pick a book I'd like to read if I decide against the other suggestions! Smile
