April Discussion Selection List

[Freddiecat]

(This is April as in following on from March - we won't neccessarily finish in April!).

This next selection list is drawn from the Granta Top 20 young novelists published in 2003. (Granta publish such a list every 10 years). I have selected a cross section of 4 books buy 4 different authors. All are available in paperback (many of these authors have new books coming out this year).

I have given some short synopses - taken from various places. I suggest for more in depth reviews you check these out yourself (rather than having really long posts on here).

How about we try and decide by the end of next week then start a discussion going on Monday 26th April (this gives people time to buy the book and read to a roughly half-way point.

Books to follow:

I'll probably pass on this one as it doesn't sound like my cup of tea (and I still haven't finished rereading Possession either).

Maybe I should have said earlier, that I had already ordered Darkroom and deliveries can take a while to get here, so I think I will have to join on on the May read.

I have read 'Fingersmith' and thoroughly enjoyed it. Count me in on the 26th. What time do you want me there and shall I bring nibbles?

Am enjoying fingersmith and was getting worried that I would miss the 26th but am making progress. SO look forward to chat.
