Book group 17th June, 8pm at the Noble: The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

sophie

Come and help me relive my AS-level English Literature year with this dystopian banger. Is it science fiction? Is it speculative fiction(?)? Is it an accurate prophecy?<br><br>Hope to see lots of book group members, new and old-time. There's a long break before this one, so no excuses!<br>

Thos is one of the best written books I've ever read.

Is this still going ahead? I have been absent for ages so looking forward to it

There's a local boycott of The Noble so shall we say The Stapleton?

sophie

i'll be there. @ullswater good point but i am a bit worried about moving it last minute because some people don't check the website...

Hi - agree with Sophie. Best stick to the Noble for now to avoid confusion. On the plus side no one else will be there so it should be nice and quiet!

Don't worry I don't think the book group's paltry drinks bill is going to keep the place afloat. Of course we could always take it one step further and only order lime and soda, then leave after half an hour!

Don't worry I'll have a tap water and do a massive shit on the floor, will that suit you @gardener-joe?

I'm not going to be able to get there this evening. Hectic work timetable at the moment. Sorry. See you next time. Hannah x
