Welcome to 2011. You know it's a new year when the private service provider operating in a partnership with public services provides additional facilities on an ongoing, symbiotic basis.
Yes, they've changed the chairs and tables in the cafe. Enjoy.
We discussed The Stars in the Bright Sky, by Alan Warner. Even people who hadn't read it joined the discussion. That's how flexible we are. Overall, we enjoyed it in a "I hope never to meet people like that" kind of way. And we all hated the last three pages.
Welcome back to Sue, previously seen organising meetings for us at Waterstone's. Nick will probably join us again next month; so it's either a Waterstone's reunion love-in, or a matter/anti-matter implosion. Who knows?
Next month is Emma Donoghue's 'controversial' Room. Almost bound to create a debate, if only because I already know one person with whom I completely disagree on it. Not hard to find a copy, either.
See you next month
