Greetings,


Thanks to every one who came last night, a quiet meeting due to illness including me. Our next book is ?For Whom The Bell Tolls? by Ernest Hemingway.

I haven?t got a date for next month but will let you know asap.


For those of you who are booked on the radio four book club can you please confirm that you are coming, great if you can but fine if you can?t but please let me know. (except Sheila who has) It?s on the 18th January and we need to be at Broadcasting House for 5.15pm. You also need to think of two questions to ask and send them to me soon.

Dear book group,


I have had a look at "For Whom The Bell Tolls" and it's over 500 pages so I sugest we do "A Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley. We can do

"For Whom The Bell Tolls" another time.

Our next meeting will be February 14th in the Clockhouse upstairs in the Blake room.


For those of you coming to the BBC on Thursday please can I have your two questions?


And we have to be at Broadcasting House at 5.00pm. We will be fineshed by 7.00pm and then there is the Korean restaraunt if you like. It's very reasonable and the food is superb.


A big welcome to Jacqueline!


All the best


Chick.

Dear Book group,


Thanks to everyone who came to the BBQ at the weekend. Our next meeting is on the 18th July at 8.00pm in the Blake room. The next book is Down and Out in Paris and London by George Orwell. It's a short book so shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks to every one who came to the meeting last week, a very interesting meeting. I may have revisit my fondness for Orwell.


Our next book is "The Human Stain" by Phillip Roth:

Also a big welcome to Sara and Sharon.


All the best
